Jay Sebring cut my hair a couple of times.
Truman Capote
One of the most difficult things in writing a novel or anything at all is to choose the point of view from which it's going to be told.

You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
Traveling wears me out.
Truman Capote
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote

Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
A disquieting loneliness came into my life, but it induced no hunger for friends of longer acquaintance: they seemed now like a salt-free, sugarless diet.
Truman Capote
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
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
I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.
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
All artists are two-headed calves.
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.
