More quotes by Truman Capote
Work is the only device I know of.
Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
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
Some prisons don't allow guitar because the strings can be detached and used as weapons.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
It takes a lot of bad writing to get to a little good writing.
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
I knew Lee Harvey Oswald, and I knew Jack Kennedy. The odds against that-one person knowing all four of those men-must be astounding.
Truman Capote
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.
Truman Capote
I loved her enough to forget myself, my self pitying despairs, and be content that something she thought happy was going to happen.
Truman Capote
all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved.
Truman Capote
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny.
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 live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
Reading dreams. That's what started her walking down the road. Every day she'd walk a little further: a mile, and come home. Two miles, and come home. One day she just kept on.
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.
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
She sounds the way bananas taste.
