Truman Capote
Image
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
Truman Capote
Image
I've never been a teacher in my life.
Truman Capote
Image
When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.
Truman Capote
Image
I know the next best thing is often the very best.
Truman Capote
Image
The most dangerous thing in the world is to make a friend of an Englishman, because he'll come sleep in your closet rather than spend 10 shillings on a hotel.
Truman Capote
Image
[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise whe was perfect.
Truman Capote

Really being friends is the most important part, I think, of any relationship.
