We wander, question. But the ...

We wander, question. But the answer waits in each separate heart - the answer of our own identity and the way by which we can master loneliness and feel that at last we belong.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

We are torn between nostalgia...

We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

I want - I want - I want - wa...

I want - I want - I want - was all that she could think about - but just what this real want was she did not know.

But the hearts of small child...

But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes.

I?m a stranger in a strange land.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

After the first establishment...

After the first establishment of identity there comes the imperative need to lose this new-found sense of separateness and to belong to something larger and more powerful than the weak, lonely self. The sense of moral isolation is intolerable to us.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

In his face there came to be ...

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 123 quotes

When a person knows and can't...

When a person knows and can't make the others understand, what does he do?

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

But look what the Church has ...

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 123 quotes

She was afraid of these thing...

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 123 quotes

Sometimes this fellow's music...

Sometimes this fellow's music was like little colored pieces of crystal candy, and other times it was the softest, saddest thing she had ever imagined about.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

But the hearts of small child...

But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is a misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

There is so much truth in chi...

There is so much truth in children and so little self-consciousness. It always strikes me that they are so capable of losing and finding themselves and also losing and finding those things they feel close to.

Carson McCullers 123 quotes

Doctors, by God; washing thei...

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 123 quotes

Listen,” F. Jasmine said. “What I’ve been trying to say is this. Doesn’t it strike you as strange that I am I, and you are you? I am F. Jasmine Addams. And you are Berenice Sadie Brown. And we can look at each other, and touch each other, and stay together year in and year out in the same room. Yet always I am I, and you are you. And I can’t ever be anything else but me, and you can ever be anything else but you. Have you ever thought of that? And does it seem to you strange?

Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.

There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries.

The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished.....

You don't know what it is to store up a lot of details and then come upon something real.
