More quotes by Truman Capote
If you weren't here, if you could be anywhere you wanted to be, doing anything you wanted to do, where would you be and what would you be doing?
Truman Capote
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman Capote
Traveling wears me out.
Truman Capote
Champagne does have one regular drawback: swilled as a regular thing a certain sourness settles in the tummy, and the result is permanent bad breath. Really incurable.
Truman Capote
All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote
I guess if you're that thin and that small you don't need to take up too much space or breathe that much air. You just keep on going.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
She sounds the way bananas taste.
Truman Capote
Really being friends is the most important part, I think, of any relationship.
Truman Capote
I'm not a character in any of my books.
Truman Capote
I'm not a philosopher.
Truman Capote
Are the dead as lonesome as the living?
Truman Capote
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
Truman Capote
The good thing about masturbation is that you don't have to get dressed up for it.
Truman Capote
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does they might as well be dead.
Truman Capote
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
If you happen to capture my imagination for some reason and I decide to write about you and you don't like what I wrote about you, which is entirely possible, then yes, I'm a dangerous writer.
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
Ever since I was a child, folks have thought they had me pegged, because of the way I am, the way I talk. And they're always wrong.
Truman Capote
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
