Truman Capote
Then why does Kenneth Anger wear a picture locket on a chain around his neck? On one side of the locket there is a picture of you on the other there is an image of a frog with an inscription: Bobby Beausoleil changed into a frog by Kenneth Anger. A voodoo amulet, so to say.
Truman Capote
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman Capote
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.

It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
Truman Capote
