Truman Capote
I remember things the way they should have been.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Those fellows, they're always crying over killers. Never a thought for the victims.
Truman Capote
I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.
Truman Capote
I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.
Truman Capote
It’s better to look at the sky than live there
Truman Capote
The instant she saw the letter she squinted her eyes and bent her lips in a tough tiny smile that advanced her age immeasurably. Darling, she instructed me, 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
I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.
