More quotes by Truman Capote
I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning....Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it's always nice to know where you're going is my theory.
Truman Capote
Personally, I rather think that if you're not creative you've got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you've got a double problem.
Truman Capote
That's the question: is truth an illusion, or is illusion truth, or are they essentially the same? Myself, I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
And in this moment, like a swift intake of breath, the rain came.
Truman Capote
I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.
Truman Capote
I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.
Truman Capote
When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.
Truman Capote
You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.
Truman Capote
Talent is a valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
Truman Capote
The enemy was anyone who was someone he wanted to be or who had anything he wanted to have.
Truman Capote
