More quotes by Truman Capote
I despise people who can't control themselves.
Truman Capote
When seriously explored, the short story seems to me the most difficult and disciplining form of prose writing extant. Whatever control and technique I may have I owe entirely to my training in this medium.
Truman Capote
It’s better to look at the sky than live there
Truman Capote
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Traveling wears me out.
Truman Capote
My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
Truman Capote
I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.
Truman Capote
Work is the only device I know of.
Truman Capote
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
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
Actually, I think friendship and love are exactly the same thing.
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
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.
Truman Capote
Just remember: If one bird carried every grain of sand, grain by grain, across the ocean, by the time he got them all on the other side, that would only be the beginning of eternity.
Truman Capote
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote
But mostly they were lies I told it wasn't my fault, I couldn't remember, because it was as though I'd been to one of those supernatural castles visited by characters in legends: once away, you do not remember, all that is left is the ghostly echo of haunting wonder.
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
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
