Reading dreams. That's what started her walking down the road. Every day she'd walk a little further: a mile, and come home. Two miles, and come home. One day she just kept on.

More quotes by Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
Truman Capote
I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
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
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.
Truman Capote
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
Truman Capote
I think the only person a writer has an obligation to is himself. If what I write doesn't fulfill something in me, if I don't honestly feel it's the best I can do, then I'm miserable.
Truman Capote
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
Truman Capote
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
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
There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.
Truman Capote
I knew Lee Harvey Oswald, and I knew Jack Kennedy. The odds against that-one person knowing all four of those men-must be astounding.
