More quotes by Truman Capote
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.
Truman Capote
[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
Truman Capote
Work is the only device I know of.
Truman Capote
Most contemporary novelists, especially the American and the French, are too subjective, mesmerized by private demons theyre enraptured by their navels and confined by a view that ends with their own toes.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox. In this case, as opposed to the scrupulous method of good taste and scientific grooming, the trick had been worked by exaggerating defects she'd made them ornamental by admitting them boldly.
Truman Capote
She took off her dark glasses and squinted at me. It was as though her eyes were shattered prisms, the dots of blue and gray and green like broken bits of sparkle.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
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
Gasping for breath, the body still battling for life.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.
Truman Capote
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.
Truman Capote
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
Truman Capote
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
All artists are two-headed calves.
Truman Capote
She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise whe was perfect.
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
