I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Image
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
Image
But, my dear, so few things are fulfilled: what are most lives but a series of incompleted episodes? 'We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task...' It is wanting to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
Truman Capote
Image
I think to be a good teacher you need an enormous amount of patience and I'm a very impatient person.
Truman Capote
Image
Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.

Talent is a valued tormentor.
Truman Capote

The most dangerous thing in the world is to make a friend of an Englishman, because he'll come sleep in your closet rather than spend 10 shillings on a hotel.
Truman Capote
Image
There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
Truman Capote
Image
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
Image
Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.

It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
Image
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.
Truman Capote
Image
A man who doesn't dream is like a man who doesn't sweat. He stores up a lot of poison.
Truman Capote
Image
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
Image
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
Image
Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.
Truman Capote
Image
All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote

Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
