More quotes by Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
The instant she saw the letter she squinted her eyes and bent her lips in a tough tiny smile that advanced her age immeasurably. Darling, she instructed me, 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

Truman Capote

Truman Capote
My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
Truman Capote
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
Gasping for breath, the body still battling for life.
Truman Capote
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
It's a scientific fact that if you stay in California you lose one point of your IQ every year.
Truman Capote
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about.
Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
