Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is intolerable to many.
Carson McCullers
There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
Carson McCullers
