More quotes by Truman Capote
You can't blame a writer for what the characters say.
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
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
Truman Capote
A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.
Truman Capote
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.
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
You can do films for the fun of it, or the thrill of it, but certain films you can't do unless there's something driving you, something you have a passion for that will pull you through.
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
I'm not a philosopher.
Truman Capote
There is such an animal as a nonstylist, only they're not writers - they're typists.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.
Truman Capote
June, July, all through the warm months she hibernated like a winter animal who did not know spring had come and gone.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does they might as well be dead.
Truman Capote
I'm sure Proust was a big bore.
Truman Capote
Just remember: If one bird carried every grain of sand, grain by grain, across the ocean, by the time he got them all on the other side, that would only be the beginning of eternity.
Truman Capote
Home is where you feel at home. I'm still looking.
Truman Capote
