More quotes by Truman Capote
With one exception everybody who has ever been involved with me is still a great friend of mine.
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
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
No one will ever know what 'In Cold Blood' took out of me. It scraped me right down to the marrow of my bones. It nearly killed me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.
Truman Capote
But I'm not a saint yet. I'm an alcoholic. I'm a drug addict. I'm homosexual. I'm a genius.
Truman Capote
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.
Truman Capote
I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about.
Truman Capote
Whatever relationship you have, man or woman, you have to be very attentive and you have to be a very good friend to them regardless of what they do.

When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.

But mostly they were lies I told it wasn't my fault, I couldn't remember, because it was as though I'd been to one of those supernatural castles visited by characters in legends: once away, you do not remember, all that is left is the ghostly echo of haunting wonder.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
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
Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.
Truman Capote
One of the most difficult things in writing a novel or anything at all is to choose the point of view from which it's going to be told.
Truman Capote
I always felt that nobody was going to understand me, going to understand what I felt about things. I guess that's why I started writing. At least on paper I could put down what I thought.
Truman Capote
I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
Truman Capote
Love should be allowed. I’m all for it. Now that I’ve got a pretty good idea what it is.
Truman Capote
All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote
Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.
Truman Capote
When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.
