Truman Capote
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Some cities, like wrapped boxes under Christmas trees, conceal unexpected gifts, secret delights. Some cities will always remain wrapped boxes, containers of riddles never to be solved, nor even to be seen by vacationing visitors, or, for that matter, the most inquisitive, persistent travelers.
Truman Capote
A man who doesn't dream is like a man who doesn't sweat. He stores up a lot of poison.
Truman Capote
I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.
Truman Capote
I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.
Truman Capote
Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.
