You can't blame a writer for what the characters say.
Truman Capote
Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.
Truman Capote
It was the most haunting room I've ever seen. Because you know what's in it? All the leftÂovers, all the paraphernalia that the different condemned men had had with them in the holding cells.
Truman Capote
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
Truman Capote
[Y]outh is hardly human: it can't be, for the young never believe they will die...especially would they never believe that death comes, and often, in forms other than the natural one.
Truman Capote
I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.

Truman Capote
Shoot, boy, the country's just fulla folks what knows everything, and don't understand nothing, just fullofem.
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
I think the only person a writer has an obligation to is himself. If what I write doesn't fulfill something in me, if I don't honestly feel it's the best I can do, then I'm miserable.
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
Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.
Truman Capote
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
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
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
