Truman Capote
Fame is only good for one thing - they will cash your check in a small town.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.
Truman Capote
I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.
Truman Capote
There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
Truman Capote
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.
