More quotes by Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers
His own life seemed so solitary, a fragile column supporting nothing amidst the wreckage of the years.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of anothers fire...driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight!
Carson McCullers
A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lillies of the swamp.
Carson McCullers
Doctors, by God washing their hands, looking out windows, fiddling with dreadful things while you are stretched out on a table or half undressed on a chair.

Carson McCullers
The seed of the idea is developed by both labor and the unconscious, and the struggle that goes on between them.
Carson McCullers
What are the sources of an illumination? To me, they come after hours of searching and keeping my soul ready. Yet they come in a flash, as a religious phenomenon. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter had such an illumination, beginning my long search for the truth of the story and flashing light into the long two years ahead.
Carson McCullers
Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.
Carson McCullers
Comparing the Brooklyn that I know with Manhattan is like comparing a comfortable and complacent duenna to her more brilliant and neurotic sister.
Carson McCullers
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
She was afraid of these things that made her suddenly wonder who she was, and what she was going to be in the world, and why she was standing at that minute, seeing a light, or listening, or staring up into the sky: alone.
Carson McCullers
Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.
Carson McCullers
The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished.
Carson McCullers
But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes.
Carson McCullers
The music left only this bad hurt in her, and a blankness. She could not remember any of the symphony, not even the last few notes. She tried to remember, but no sound at all came to her. Now that it was over there was only her heart like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.
Carson McCullers
Coming down was the hardest part of any climbing.
