More quotes by 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
It takes a lot of bad writing to get to a little good writing.
Truman Capote
There was an American girl, Priscilla Johnson. She worked for U.P. in Moscow. She knew [John] Kennedy, and she met [Lee Harvey] Oswald around the same time I did. But I can tell you someĀthing else almost as curious.
Truman Capote
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
How do I look so young? Quite simple: a complete vegetable diet, 12 hours sleep a night, and lots and lots of make-up.
Truman Capote
All writing, all art, is an act of faith. If one tries to contribute to human understanding, how can that be called decadent? It's like saying a declaration of love is an act of decadence. Any work of art, provide it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.
Truman Capote
I prefer to underwrite. Simple, clear as a country creek.
Truman Capote
She sounds the way bananas taste.
Truman Capote
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does they might as well be dead.
Truman Capote
would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
Truman Capote
Sicily is more beautiful than any woman.
Truman Capote
Of course, at their best, movies are anti-literature and, as a medium, belong not to writers, not to actors, but to directors.
Truman Capote
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
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
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
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
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
Truman Capote
All artists are two-headed calves.
