More quotes by Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
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
Half the people who snuff people, that's what they want: recognition. Get their picture in the paper.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
I've been working, working, working, and you know, sometimes you look back at your work and you see that it just isn't any good.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
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
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
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
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
Truman Capote
When I'm writing, I never write more than four hours a day.
Truman Capote
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
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.
Truman Capote
Of course, at their best, movies are anti-literature and, as a medium, belong not to writers, not to actors, but to directors.
Truman Capote
Those fellows, they're always crying over killers. Never a thought for the victims.
Truman Capote
