Truman Capote
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Truman Capote
It was the most haunting room I've ever seen. Because you know what's in it? All the leftovers, all the paraphernalia that the different condemned men had had with them in the holding cells.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
I remember things the way they should have been.
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

Truman Capote
I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Past certain ages or certain wisdoms it is very difficult to look with wonder it is best done when one is a child after that, and if you are lucky, you will find a bridge of childhood and walk across it.
Truman Capote
I'm sure Proust was a big bore.
Truman Capote
All artists are two-headed calves.
Truman Capote
The good thing about masturbation is that you don't have to get dressed up for it.
Truman Capote
