More quotes by Truman Capote

Truman Capote
My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
Traveling wears me out.
Truman Capote
Still, when all is said, somewhere one must belong: even the soaring falcon returns to its master's wrist.
Truman Capote
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Jay Sebring cut my hair a couple of times.
Truman Capote
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
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
The brain may take advice, but not the heart.
Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
Truman Capote
I think I would have written five times as much as I've written if I didn't have this terrible sense of perfection.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
Truman Capote
But, my dear, so few things are fulfilled: what are most lives but a series of incompleted episodes? 'We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task...' It is wanting to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
