Carson McCullers: Doing

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

“All we can do is go around telling the truth.”

“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are gone, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.”

“I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?”

“My advice to you is this. Do not attempt to stand alone…. The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.”

“But all the time-no matter what she was doing-there was music.”
