Carson McCullers
The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.
Carson McCullers
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
While Time, The endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.
Carson McCullers
We are homesick most for the places we have never known.
Carson McCullers
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
