More quotes by Truman Capote
My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
Truman Capote
June, July, all through the warm months she hibernated like a winter animal who did not know spring had come and gone.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
My father was quite an attractive guy. He was very intelligent and very amusing. I didn't like him. He was always very nice to me but I just didn't like him.
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

Truman Capote

Truman Capote

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
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.
Truman Capote
Dizzy with excitement is no mere phrase.
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
You can't blame a writer for what the characters say.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote
