More quotes by Carson McCullers
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
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
The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished.
Carson McCullers
But look what the Church has done to Jesus during the last two thousand years. What they have made of Him. How they have turned every word He spoke for their own vile ends. Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today.
Carson McCullers
But no value has been put on human life it is given to us free and taken without being paid for. What is it worth? If you look around, at times the value may seem to be little or nothing at all. Often after you have sweated and tried and things are not better for you, there comes a feeling deep down in the soul that you are not worth much.
Carson McCullers
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
The people dreamed and fought and slept as much as ever. And by habit they shortened their thoughts so that they would not wander out into the darkness beyond tomorrow.
Carson McCullers
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is intolerable to many.
Carson McCullers
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.
Carson McCullers
I have never gone to a doctor in my adult life, feeling instinctively that doctors meant either cutting or, just as bad, diet.
Carson McCullers
Some men are heroes by nature in that they will give all that is in them without regard to the effort or to the personal returns.
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
Coming down was the hardest part of any climbing.
Carson McCullers
The writer must hew the phantom rock.
Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers
The writer by nature of his profession is a dreamer and a conscious dreamer. He must imagine, and imagination takes humility, love and great courage. How can you create a character without live and the struggle that goes with love?
Carson McCullers
When a person knows and can't make the others understand, what does he do?
Carson McCullers
In his face there came to be a brooding peace that is seen most often in the faces of the very sorrowful or the very wise. But still he wandered through the streets of the town, always silent and alone.
Carson McCullers
Passion is more important than justice.
