More quotes by Truman Capote
The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.
Truman Capote
It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.
Truman Capote
I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote
She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise whe was perfect.
Truman Capote
Are the dead as lonesome as the living?
Truman Capote
It's odd about tattoos. I've talked to several hundred men convicted of homicide-multiple homicide, in most cases. The only common denominate- I could find among them was tattoos. A good eighty percent of them were heavily tattooed.
Truman Capote
I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.
Truman Capote
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.
Truman Capote
Oh, I adore to cook. It makes me feel so mindless in a worthwhile way.
Truman Capote
You can't blame a writer for what the characters say.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
I am a completely horizontal author. I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch.
Truman Capote
That isn't writing at all, it's typing.
Truman Capote
I knew Lee Harvey Oswald, and I knew Jack Kennedy. The odds against that-one person knowing all four of those men-must be astounding.
Truman Capote
I feel that all a writer has is his own experience.
Truman Capote
The more you know about something, the harder it becomes. You become more and more of a perfectionist. I think it's a curse... It's a form of illness!
Truman Capote
I'm not a philosopher.
Truman Capote
I think of myself as a stylist, and stylists can become notoriously obsessed with the placing of a comma, the weight of a semicolon.
Truman Capote
And yes, to answer you seriously, I am beginning to be... well, not bored, but tempted afraid, but tempted. When you've been in pain for a long time, when you wake up every morning with a rising sense of hysteria, then boredom is what you want, marathon sleeps, a silence in yourself.
Truman Capote
Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.
Truman Capote
