The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote

All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote

If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
Truman Capote
Image
When I'm writing, I never write more than four hours a day.
Truman Capote
Image
Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.
Truman Capote

That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
Image
I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.

Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.

All artists are two-headed calves.

Some prisons don't allow guitar because the strings can be detached and used as weapons.

It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
