More quotes by Truman Capote
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
Truman Capote
We all, sometimes, leave each other there under the skies, and we never understand why.
Truman Capote
The brain may take advice, but not the heart.
Truman Capote
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
Truman Capote
Fame is only good for one thing - they will cash your check in a small town.

Truman Capote

Truman Capote
You can do films for the fun of it, or the thrill of it, but certain films you can't do unless there's something driving you, something you have a passion for that will pull you through.
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
No one will ever know what 'In Cold Blood' took out of me. It scraped me right down to the marrow of my bones. It nearly killed me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.
Truman Capote
The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection.
Truman Capote
I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.
Truman Capote
She took off her dark glasses and squinted at me. It was as though her eyes were shattered prisms, the dots of blue and gray and green like broken bits of sparkle.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
Truman Capote
She is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a Flamingo.
Truman Capote
Never love a wild thing...If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.
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
