Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
Image
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.

June, July, all through the warm months she hibernated like a winter animal who did not know spring had come and gone.
Truman Capote

One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.

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.
