The wind is us-- it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields.
Truman Capote
Image
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.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
Image
Past certain ages or certain wisdoms it is very difficult to look with wonder it is best done when one is a child after that, and if you are lucky, you will find a bridge of childhood and walk across it.
Truman Capote
Image
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.

Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
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.
