I'm very scared, Buster. Yes, at last. Because it could go on forever. Not knowing what's yours until you've thrown it away.
Truman Capote
Many universities have asked me to come for a semester but I don't want to do it because I don't have the patience.
Truman Capote
One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.
Truman Capote

I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
I've been working, working, working, and you know, sometimes you look back at your work and you see that it just isn't any good.
Truman Capote
It's a scientific fact that if you stay in California you lose one point of your IQ every year.
Truman Capote
Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.
Truman Capote
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
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
It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
Truman Capote
I hated Hemingway. I liked Faulkner but he was a bore.
