I couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.
Truman Capote

I think to be a good teacher you need an enormous amount of patience and I'm a very impatient person.
Truman Capote
Image
I'm very scared, Buster. Yes, at last. Because it could go on forever. Not knowing what's yours until you've thrown it away.
Truman Capote
Image
The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
Truman Capote
Image
