More quotes by Truman Capote
We all, sometimes, leave each other there under the skies, and we never understand why.
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
I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany´s.
Truman Capote
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
Truman Capote
Oh Jesus God we did belong to each other. He was mine.
Truman Capote
Let's take everything just as it is.
Truman Capote
Then why does Kenneth Anger wear a picture locket on a chain around his neck? On one side of the locket there is a picture of you on the other there is an image of a frog with an inscription: Bobby Beausoleil changed into a frog by Kenneth Anger. A voodoo amulet, so to say.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
Half the people who snuff people, that's what they want: recognition. Get their picture in the paper.
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
The instant she saw the letter she squinted her eyes and bent her lips in a tough tiny smile that advanced her age immeasurably. Darling, she instructed me, would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
Truman Capote
The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
Truman Capote
Never love a wild thing...If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.
Truman Capote
Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
Truman Capote
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
Truman Capote
I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
Truman Capote
Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
Truman Capote
It may be normal, darling but I'd rather be natural.
Truman Capote
