More quotes by Truman Capote

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

Truman Capote

Truman Capote
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
Gasping for breath, the body still battling for life.
Truman Capote
Work is the only device I know of.
Truman Capote
Intelligence alone can't make a good writer and style alone can't make a good writer - that is, not a really important or significant writer - but the two things together make a really good writer.
Truman Capote
Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.
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
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
Truman Capote
