Past certain ages or certain wisdoms it is very difficult to look with wonder it is best done when one is a child after that, and if you are lucky, you will find a bridge of childhood and walk across it.
Truman Capote
Image
I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning....Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it's always nice to know where you're going is my theory.
Truman Capote
Image
I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
Truman Capote
Image
I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.

Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.
Truman Capote

All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote
Image
Intelligence alone can't make a good writer and style alone can't make a good writer - that is, not a really important or significant writer - but the two things together make a really good writer.
Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.

Are the dead as lonesome as the living?
Truman Capote
Image
When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.
Truman Capote
Image
I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
Truman Capote
Image
Gasping for breath, the body still battling for life.
Truman Capote
Image
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
