More quotes by Truman Capote
One of the most difficult things in writing a novel or anything at all is to choose the point of view from which it's going to be told.
Truman Capote
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

Truman Capote
...of all things this was the saddest, that life goes on: if one leaves one's lover, life should stop for him, and if one disappears from the world, then the world should stop, too: and it never did. And that was the real reason for most people getting up in the morning: not because it would matter but because it wouldn't.
Truman Capote
The way his plump hand clutched at her hip seemed somehow improper not morally, aesthetically.
Truman Capote
Never love a wild thing...If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.
Truman Capote
The quietness of his tone italicized the malice of his reply.
Truman Capote
I hated Hemingway. I liked Faulkner but he was a bore.
Truman Capote
I think of myself as a stylist, and stylists can become notoriously obsessed with the placing of a comma, the weight of a semicolon.
Truman Capote
Let's take everything just as it is.
Truman Capote
[Y]outh is hardly human: it can't be, for the young never believe they will die...especially would they never believe that death comes, and often, in forms other than the natural one.
Truman Capote
When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.
Truman Capote
New York is the only real city-city.
