Truman Capote
Personally, I rather think that if you're not creative you've got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you've got a double problem.
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
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
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
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.
Truman Capote
