More quotes by 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
I've always seen myself as a winner, even as a kid. If I hadn't, I just might have gone down the drain a couple of times. I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it 'til the end of the race.
Truman Capote
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.
Truman Capote
The average personality re-shapes frequently, every few years even our bodies undergo a complete overhaul-desirable or not, it is a natural thing that we should change.
Truman Capote
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
I haven't anything against whores, except this: some of them may have an honest tongue but they all have dishonest hearts.

It's a very excruciating life facing that blank piece of paper every day and having to reach up somewhere into the clouds and bring something down out of them.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.
Truman Capote
If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it....for me, every act of the art of solving a mystery.
Truman Capote
I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.
Truman Capote
Many universities have asked me to come for a semester but I don't want to do it because I don't have the patience.
Truman Capote
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
I am a completely horizontal author. I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch.
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
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.
Truman Capote
I'll wager at the end a body realizes the Lord has already shown Himself. That things as they are -- her hand circles in a gesture that gathers clouds and kites and grass and Queenie pawing earth over her bone - just what they've always seen, was seeing Him. As for me, I could leave the world with today in my eyes.
Truman Capote
Oh, I adore to cook. It makes me feel so mindless in a worthwhile way.
Truman Capote
There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.
Truman Capote
Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.
