Truman Capote
Image
At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.
Truman Capote
Image
With one exception everybody who has ever been involved with me is still a great friend of mine.
Truman Capote
Image
Shoot, boy, the country's just fulla folks what knows everything, and don't understand nothing, just fullofem.
Truman Capote
Image
I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.
Truman Capote
Image
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Truman Capote
