More quotes by Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
Truman Capote
No one will ever know what 'In Cold Blood' took out of me. It scraped me right down to the marrow of my bones. It nearly killed me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.
Truman Capote
Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
I think the only person a writer has an obligation to is himself. If what I write doesn't fulfill something in me, if I don't honestly feel it's the best I can do, then I'm miserable.
Truman Capote
I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
Truman Capote
When I'm writing, I never write more than four hours a day.
Truman Capote
Of many magics, one is watching a beloved sleep: free of eyes and awareness, you for a sweet moment hold the heart of him helpless, he is then all, and however irrationally, you have trusted him to be, man-pure, child-tender.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.
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
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
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
I think most people are very, very much motivated by sex - greed, sex, and hunger.
Truman Capote
But I'm not a saint yet. I'm an alcoholic. I'm a drug addict. I'm homosexual. I'm a genius.
Truman Capote
