More quotes by Truman Capote
Some cities, like wrapped boxes under Christmas trees, conceal unexpected gifts, secret delights. Some cities will always remain wrapped boxes, containers of riddles never to be solved, nor even to be seen by vacationing visitors, or, for that matter, the most inquisitive, persistent travelers.
Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
First, a gorgeous breakfast: just everything you can imagine from flapjacks and fried squirrel to hominy grits and honey in the comb...we're so impatient to get at the presents we can't eat a mouthful.
Truman Capote
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.
Truman Capote
We all, sometimes, leave each other there under the skies, and we never understand why.
Truman Capote
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.
Truman Capote
A disquieting loneliness came into my life, but it induced no hunger for friends of longer acquaintance: they seemed now like a salt-free, sugarless diet.
Truman Capote
How do I look so young? Quite simple: a complete vegetable diet, 12 hours sleep a night, and lots and lots of make-up.
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 am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
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
It’s better to look at the sky than live there
Truman Capote
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
There is such an animal as a nonstylist, only they're not writers - they're typists.
Truman Capote
A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.
Truman Capote
Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.
Truman Capote
would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
Truman Capote
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
