Truman Capote
When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.
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

Truman Capote
It was the most haunting room I've ever seen. Because you know what's in it? All the leftÂovers, all the paraphernalia that the different condemned men had had with them in the holding cells.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.
Truman Capote
