There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.

More quotes by Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
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
The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.
Truman Capote
Reading dreams. That's what started her walking down the road. Every day she'd walk a little further: a mile, and come home. Two miles, and come home. One day she just kept on.
Truman Capote
Talent is a valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
But, my dear, so few things are fulfilled: what are most lives but a series of incompleted episodes? 'We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task...' It is wanting to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
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
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
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman Capote
Still, when all is said, somewhere one must belong: even the soaring falcon returns to its master's wrist.
Truman Capote
Some prisons don't allow guitar because the strings can be detached and used as weapons.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
The average personality re-shapes frequently, every few years even our bodies undergo a complete overhaul-desirable or not, it is a natural thing that we should change.
Truman Capote
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
Truman Capote
It’s better to look at the sky than live there
