Truman Capote
There is such an animal as a nonstylist, only they're not writers - they're typists.
Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
The more you know about something, the harder it becomes. You become more and more of a perfectionist. I think it's a curse... It's a form of illness!
Truman Capote
[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
Truman Capote
I loved her enough to forget myself, my self pitying despairs, and be content that something she thought happy was going to happen.
Truman Capote
The good thing about masturbation is that you don't have to get dressed up for it.
Truman Capote
