More quotes by 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
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote
Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Before birth yes, what time was it then? A time like now, and when they were dead, it would be still like now: these trees, that sky, this earth, those acorn seeds, sun and wind, all the same, while they, with dust-turned hearts, change only.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
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
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
Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.
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
I'm sure Proust was a big bore.
Truman Capote
I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.
Truman Capote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.
Truman Capote
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
A disquieting loneliness came into my life, but it induced no hunger for friends of longer acquaintance: they seemed now like a salt-free, sugarless diet.
Truman Capote
That's all a writer has to write about - what he sees and hears and what not.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
