Truman Capote
Those fellows, they're always crying over killers. Never a thought for the victims.
Truman Capote
With one exception everybody who has ever been involved with me is still a great friend of mine.
Truman Capote
There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.

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
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
I've been working, working, working, and you know, sometimes you look back at your work and you see that it just isn't any good.
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
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote

Truman Capote

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
I remember things the way they should have been.
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
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
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.
