More quotes by Truman Capote
Any work of art, provided 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
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
I despise people who can't control themselves.
Truman Capote
I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about.

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
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
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
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote
Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.
Truman Capote
I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why.
Truman Capote
Actually, I think friendship and love are exactly the same thing.
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
How do I look so young? Quite simple: a complete vegetable diet, 12 hours sleep a night, and lots and lots of make-up.
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
Good writing is rewriting.
