More quotes by Truman Capote
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
Truman Capote
Writing in the first person automatically gives you a point of view.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
Truman Capote
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny.
Truman Capote
I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
Truman Capote
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
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
To wake up one morning and feel that I was a last a grown-up person, emptied of resentment, vengeful thoughts and other wasteful childish emotions. To find myself, in other words, an adult. Truman Capote
Truman Capote
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman Capote
My father was quite an attractive guy. He was very intelligent and very amusing. I didn't like him. He was always very nice to me but I just didn't like him.
Truman Capote
The instant she saw the letter she squinted her eyes and bent her lips in a tough tiny smile that advanced her age immeasurably. Darling, she instructed me, would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
Truman Capote
A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
Truman Capote
I loved her enough to forget myself, my self pitying despairs, and be content that something she thought happy was going to happen.
Truman Capote
It's a scientific fact that if you stay in California you lose one point of your IQ every year.
Truman Capote
Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.
Truman Capote
Never love a wild thing...If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
