The wind is us-- it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields.
Truman Capote
Image
I'll wager at the end a body realizes the Lord has already shown Himself. That things as they are -- her hand circles in a gesture that gathers clouds and kites and grass and Queenie pawing earth over her bone - just what they've always seen, was seeing Him. As for me, I could leave the world with today in my eyes.

Image
I guess if you're that thin and that small you don't need to take up too much space or breathe that much air. You just keep on going.

I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.

Mick Jagger moves like a parody between a majorette girl and Fred Astaire.
Truman Capote

If you have a single narrator, a person like an I - 'I' did this and 'I' did that - it automatically solves the most difficult problem in writing.
Truman Capote
Image
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
Truman Capote
Image
I feel that all a writer has is his own experience.
Truman Capote
Image
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
Image
our real fears are the sounds of footsteps walking in the corridors of our minds, and the anxieties, the phantom floatings, they create.
Truman Capote
Image
The feeble-minded, the neurotic, the criminal, perhaps, also, the artist, have unpredictability and perverted innocence in common.
Truman Capote
Image
It's like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don't understand how you can live there. It's really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there's nothing moving. I've lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren't as boring as Los Angeles.

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

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
