More From Carson McCullers

Sunday-the doctor's paradise! doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Country Sunday Doctors
If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. but what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. the important point here is this: tolerance applies only to persons but never to truth. intolerance applies only to truth but never to persons. tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error.
Attitude Punishment Errors
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Cutting Thinking Passive Voice
Estate agents. you can't live with them, you can't live with them. the first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. with their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. if you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. there's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. estate agents. love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.
Home Keys Land
The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it's like telling a lie, and one leads to another. first you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. they are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. but then the doctors aren't equally divided geographically, so a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can't live in that town, they already have enough doctors. you have to go someplace else. and from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.

By the time i was 10 or 11, i was completely demoralized. i thought, "i'm done. i'm never going to be a missionary," because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.

They say that age kills the fire inside of a man, that he hears death coming, he opens the door and says, "come in, give me rest!" that is a pack of goddam lies.

It's easier to tell a lie, than to tell the truth. it's easier to kill a fly, than it is to turn it loose.
Lying Expression Telling The Truth
