Truman Capote
A work of art is one of mystery, the one extreme magic everything else is either arithmetic or biology.
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
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
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
