More quotes by Truman Capote
I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.
Truman Capote
Fame is only good for one thing - they will cash your check in a small town.
Truman Capote
She sounds the way bananas taste.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.
Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
Truman Capote
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.
Truman Capote
When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
I know the next best thing is often the very best.
Truman Capote
Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.
Truman Capote
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
Truman Capote
