I couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.
Truman Capote
Image
I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning....Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it's always nice to know where you're going is my theory.

Half the people who snuff people, that's what they want: recognition. Get their picture in the paper.
Truman Capote
Image
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.

June, July, all through the warm months she hibernated like a winter animal who did not know spring had come and gone.
Truman Capote
Image
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.

In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
Image
I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.

The wind is us-- it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields.
Truman Capote

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
