Truman Capote
There was an American girl, Priscilla Johnson. She worked for U.P. in Moscow. She knew [John] Kennedy, and she met [Lee Harvey] Oswald around the same time I did. But I can tell you something else almost as curious.
Truman Capote
It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
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
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
