More quotes by Truman Capote
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.
Truman Capote
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.
Truman Capote
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
A disquieting loneliness came into my life, but it induced no hunger for friends of longer acquaintance: they seemed now like a salt-free, sugarless diet.
Truman Capote
I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
Truman Capote
Then why does Kenneth Anger wear a picture locket on a chain around his neck? On one side of the locket there is a picture of you on the other there is an image of a frog with an inscription: Bobby Beausoleil changed into a frog by Kenneth Anger. A voodoo amulet, so to say.
Truman Capote
Sicily is more beautiful than any woman.
