Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Image
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
Image
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.

That's not writing, that's typing

Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.

Never demean yourself by talking back to a critic, never. Write those letters to the editor in your head, but don't put them on paper.

New York is the only real city-city.

Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
