Of course people couldn't help but think I must be a bit of a dyke myself. And of course I am. Everyone is: a bit. So what? That never discouraged a man yet, in fact it seems to goad them on.

More quotes by Truman Capote
Good writing is rewriting.
Truman Capote
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.
Truman Capote
Those fellows, they're always crying over killers. Never a thought for the victims.
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
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 couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.
Truman Capote
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
Truman Capote
My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
Truman Capote
If you weren't here, if you could be anywhere you wanted to be, doing anything you wanted to do, where would you be and what would you be doing?
Truman Capote
When you've got nowhere to turn, turn on the gas.
Truman Capote
Still, when all is said, somewhere one must belong: even the soaring falcon returns to its master's wrist.
Truman Capote
I know the next best thing is often the very best.
Truman Capote
Before birth yes, what time was it then? A time like now, and when they were dead, it would be still like now: these trees, that sky, this earth, those acorn seeds, sun and wind, all the same, while they, with dust-turned hearts, change only.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
My father was quite an attractive guy. He was very intelligent and very amusing. I didn't like him. He was always very nice to me but I just didn't like him.
Truman Capote
All writing, all art, is an act of faith. If one tries to contribute to human understanding, how can that be called decadent? It's like saying a declaration of love is an act of decadence. Any work of art, provide 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 want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany´s.
Truman Capote
The better the actor, the more stupid he is.
Truman Capote
I'm one of the world's greatest pencil sharpeners.
