More quotes by Truman Capote
There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
Truman Capote
I'm very scared, Buster. Yes, at last. Because it could go on forever. Not knowing what's yours until you've thrown it away.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
Truman Capote
Any work of art, provided it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.
Truman Capote
I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.
Truman Capote
I remember things the way they should have been.
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
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
Truman Capote
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
Truman Capote
I despise people who can't control themselves.
Truman Capote
Technically I feel total fluidity in writing. I feel there's nothing technically that I can't do the way a certain sort of pianist feels that. But that doesn't mean it comes easily. It doesn't.
Truman Capote
She is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a Flamingo.
Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
I'm sure Proust was a big bore.
Truman Capote
The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
Truman Capote
