Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.
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
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.
Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
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
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
My father was quite an attractive guy. He was very intelligent and very amusing. I didn't like him. He was always very nice to me but I just didn't like him.
