More quotes by Truman Capote
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.
Truman Capote
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
Truman Capote
I know the next best thing is often the very best.
Truman Capote
I'm not a philosopher.
Truman Capote
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does they might as well be dead.
Truman Capote
If you have a single narrator, a person like an I - 'I' did this and 'I' did that - it automatically solves the most difficult problem in writing.
Truman Capote
You're wonderful. Unique. I love you.
Truman Capote
When I'm writing, I never write more than four hours a day.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
With one exception everybody who has ever been involved with me is still a great friend of mine.
Truman Capote
He loved her, he loved her, and until he'd loved her she had never minded being alone.
Truman Capote
If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
Truman Capote
The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox. In this case, as opposed to the scrupulous method of good taste and scientific grooming, the trick had been worked by exaggerating defects she'd made them ornamental by admitting them boldly.
Truman Capote
I'd met Sharon Tate at the Cannes Film Festival.
Truman Capote
I don't think I've ever drunk champagne before breakfast before. With breakfast on several occasions, but never before before.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
Everybody has to feel superior to somebody, she said. But it's customary to present a little proof before you take the privilege.
