More quotes by Truman Capote
Actually, I think friendship and love are exactly the same thing.
Truman Capote
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
Truman Capote
I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning....Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it's always nice to know where you're going is my theory.
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
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
Truman Capote
When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.
Truman Capote
A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.
Truman Capote
I think I would have written five times as much as I've written if I didn't have this terrible sense of perfection.
Truman Capote
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
The wind is us-- it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields.
Truman Capote
I think to be a good teacher you need an enormous amount of patience and I'm a very impatient person.
Truman Capote
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman Capote
She sounds the way bananas taste.
Truman Capote
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
Personally, I rather think that if you're not creative you've got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you've got a double problem.
Truman Capote
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
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
Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
Truman Capote
