But I'm not a saint yet. I'm an alcoholic. I'm a drug addict. I'm homosexual. I'm a genius.
Truman Capote
Image
Most contemporary novelists, especially the American and the French, are too subjective, mesmerized by private demons theyre enraptured by their navels and confined by a view that ends with their own toes.
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
Image
Of many magics, one is watching a beloved sleep: free of eyes and awareness, you for a sweet moment hold the heart of him helpless, he is then all, and however irrationally, you have trusted him to be, man-pure, child-tender.

Dizzy with excitement is no mere phrase.
Truman Capote
Image
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
Truman Capote
Image
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
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.

You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.

Some prisons don't allow guitar because the strings can be detached and used as weapons.

I think to be a good teacher you need an enormous amount of patience and I'm a very impatient person.
