The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
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
My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.
Truman Capote
I'm scarcely an enfant!
Truman Capote
New York is a diamond iceberg floating in river water.
Truman Capote
Good writing is rewriting.
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
Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.
Truman Capote
Just remember: If one bird carried every grain of sand, grain by grain, across the ocean, by the time he got them all on the other side, that would only be the beginning of eternity.
Truman Capote
Ever since I was a child, folks have thought they had me pegged, because of the way I am, the way I talk. And they're always wrong.
Truman Capote
I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.
Truman Capote
All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
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
One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.
Truman Capote
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.
Truman Capote
I'd met Sharon Tate at the Cannes Film Festival.
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
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
The instant she saw the letter she squinted her eyes and bent her lips in a tough tiny smile that advanced her age immeasurably. Darling, she instructed me, would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
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
