More quotes by Truman Capote
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.
Truman Capote
If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
Truman Capote
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Fame is only good for one thing - they will cash your check in a small town.
Truman Capote
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
Jay Sebring cut my hair a couple of times.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
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
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise whe was perfect.
Truman Capote
[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
Truman Capote
But, my dear, so few things are fulfilled: what are most lives but a series of incompleted episodes? 'We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task...' It is wanting to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
Truman Capote
When seriously explored, the short story seems to me the most difficult and disciplining form of prose writing extant. Whatever control and technique I may have I owe entirely to my training in this medium.
Truman Capote
all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved.
Truman Capote
All artists are two-headed calves.
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
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
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
Truman Capote
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
Truman Capote
