Truman Capote
It's like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don't understand how you can live there. It's really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there's nothing moving. I've lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren't as boring as Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.
Truman Capote
When you've got nowhere to turn, turn on the gas.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
We all, sometimes, leave each other there under the skies, and we never understand why.
Truman Capote
