Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.
Truman Capote
Image
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny.
Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
Image
[Y]outh is hardly human: it can't be, for the young never believe they will die...especially would they never believe that death comes, and often, in forms other than the natural one.
Truman Capote
Image
To wake up one morning and feel that I was a last a grown-up person, emptied of resentment, vengeful thoughts and other wasteful childish emotions. To find myself, in other words, an adult. Truman Capote
