Carson McCullers Quotes About Identity

Quotes about: Identity

  Carson McCullers

  Loneliness, Independent, Weather

• 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

  Loneliness, Heart, Waiting

  Carson McCullers (2005). “The Mortgaged Heart: Selected Writings”, p.261, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

• 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

  Lonely, Powerful, Self
