More quotes by Truman Capote
I haven't anything against whores, except this: some of them may have an honest tongue but they all have dishonest hearts.
Truman Capote
I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
Truman Capote
There is nobody in the world that you can't get if you really concentrate on it, if you really want them. You've got to want it to the exclusion of everything else.
Truman Capote
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
Truman Capote
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does they might as well be dead.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.
Truman Capote
Love should be allowed. I’m all for it. Now that I’ve got a pretty good idea what it is.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
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
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
Truman Capote
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
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
You can do films for the fun of it, or the thrill of it, but certain films you can't do unless there's something driving you, something you have a passion for that will pull you through.
Truman Capote
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
Truman Capote
Any work of art, provided it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.
Truman Capote
...of all things this was the saddest, that life goes on: if one leaves one's lover, life should stop for him, and if one disappears from the world, then the world should stop, too: and it never did. And that was the real reason for most people getting up in the morning: not because it would matter but because it wouldn't.
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
