More quotes by Truman Capote
I loved her enough to forget myself, my self pitying despairs, and be content that something she thought happy was going to happen.
Truman Capote
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved.
Truman Capote
Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
Truman Capote
Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.
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
Sicily is more beautiful than any woman.
Truman Capote
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
If you happen to capture my imagination for some reason and I decide to write about you and you don't like what I wrote about you, which is entirely possible, then yes, I'm a dangerous writer.
Truman Capote
Gasping for breath, the body still battling for life.
Truman Capote
I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.
Truman Capote
A work of art is one of mystery, the one extreme magic everything else is either arithmetic or biology.
Truman Capote
Just remember: If one bird carried every grain of sand, grain by grain, across the ocean, by the time he got them all on the other side, that would only be the beginning of eternity.
Truman Capote
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.
Truman Capote
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
Truman Capote
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
Truman Capote
I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.
Truman Capote
It's a scientific fact that if you stay in California you lose one point of your IQ every year.
Truman Capote
I think of myself as a stylist, and stylists can become notoriously obsessed with the placing of a comma, the weight of a semicolon.
Truman Capote
I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.
