Truman Capote
Great fury, like great whisky, requires long fermentation.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
I remember things the way they should have been.
Truman Capote
The only obligation any artist can have is to himself. His work means nothing, otherwise. It has no meaning.
Truman Capote
Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
