More quotes by Truman Capote
When I'm writing, I never write more than four hours a day.
Truman Capote
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.
Truman Capote
Personally, I rather think that if you're not creative you've got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you've got a double problem.
Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
Truman Capote
If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
Truman Capote
I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about.
Truman Capote
I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
Truman Capote
There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.
Truman Capote
Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
June, July, all through the warm months she hibernated like a winter animal who did not know spring had come and gone.
Truman Capote
Intelligence alone can't make a good writer and style alone can't make a good writer - that is, not a really important or significant writer - but the two things together make a really good writer.
Truman Capote
I think most people are very, very much motivated by sex - greed, sex, and hunger.
Truman Capote
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
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.
Truman Capote
There was an American girl, Priscilla Johnson. She worked for U.P. in Moscow. She knew [John] Kennedy, and she met [Lee Harvey] Oswald around the same time I did. But I can tell you something else almost as curious.
Truman Capote
But mostly they were lies I told it wasn't my fault, I couldn't remember, because it was as though I'd been to one of those supernatural castles visited by characters in legends: once away, you do not remember, all that is left is the ghostly echo of haunting wonder.
Truman Capote
Good writing is rewriting.
Truman Capote
Jay Sebring cut my hair a couple of times.
