One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.
Truman Capote
Image
I was eleven, then I was sixteen. Though no honors came my way, those were the lovely years.

Image
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox. In this case, as opposed to the scrupulous method of good taste and scientific grooming, the trick had been worked by exaggerating defects she'd made them ornamental by admitting them boldly.

It may be normal, darling but I'd rather be natural.

I've lived a lot in communist countries and they're intensely interested in money. I think they are more interested in money than capitalists are. They're the most materialistic people in the world. What they're actually living for is material things. The irony of that is that in communist countries there isn't anything to buy.

He loved her, he loved her, and until he'd loved her she had never minded being alone.
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.

Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
Image
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
Image
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.
