More quotes by Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
First, a gorgeous breakfast: just everything you can imagine from flapjacks and fried squirrel to hominy grits and honey in the comb...we're so impatient to get at the presents we can't eat a mouthful.
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
Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.
Truman Capote
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
I couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.
Truman Capote
I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.
Truman Capote
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
But, my dear, so few things are fulfilled: what are most lives but a series of incompleted episodes? 'We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task...' It is wanting to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
Truman Capote
I'll pay you a million dollars if you tell your life story for true.
Truman Capote
Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.
Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
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
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
Truman Capote
