More quotes by Truman Capote
our real fears are the sounds of footsteps walking in the corridors of our minds, and the anxieties, the phantom floatings, they create.
Truman Capote
Let's take everything just as it is.
Truman Capote
I don't use a typewriter, I write longhand, with a pencil. Essentially I'm a horizontal writer. I think better when I'm lying down.
Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
Truman Capote
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.
Truman Capote
It may be normal, darling but I'd rather be natural.
Truman Capote
I used to spend all of my time projecting. I was never in the moment. It was always tomorrow or next week or two months from now. That was one of the reasons I always had this sense of anxiety.
Truman Capote
I don't think I've ever drunk champagne before breakfast before. With breakfast on several occasions, but never before before.
Truman Capote
That isn't writing at all, it's typing.
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
I am a completely horizontal author. I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch.
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
Imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
There is such an animal as a nonstylist, only they're not writers - they're typists.
Truman Capote
I was eleven, then I was sixteen. Though no honors came my way, those were the lovely years.
Truman Capote
The more you know about something, the harder it becomes. You become more and more of a perfectionist. I think it's a curse... It's a form of illness!
Truman Capote
Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
Truman Capote
Clocks indeed must have their sacrifice: what is death but an offering to time and eternity?
Truman Capote
When seriously explored, the short story seems to me the most difficult and disciplining form of prose writing extant. Whatever control and technique I may have I owe entirely to my training in this medium.
Truman Capote
