But he does look stupid.' Yearning. Not stupid. He wants awfully to be on the inside staring out: anybody with their nose pressed against a glass is liable to look stupid.
Truman Capote
Image
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
Image
Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.

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
Image

Good writing is rewriting.

Good luck and believe me, dearest Doc - it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear.
Truman Capote
Image
If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it....for me, every act of the art of solving a mystery.

Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.

Half the people who snuff people, that's what they want: recognition. Get their picture in the paper.

Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.

I'll wager at the end a body realizes the Lord has already shown Himself. That things as they are -- her hand circles in a gesture that gathers clouds and kites and grass and Queenie pawing earth over her bone - just what they've always seen, was seeing Him. As for me, I could leave the world with today in my eyes.
