Truman Capote
I think the only person a writer has an obligation to is himself. If what I write doesn't fulfill something in me, if I don't honestly feel it's the best I can do, then I'm miserable.
Truman Capote
I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
Truman Capote
I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.
Truman Capote
Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
