But I'm not a saint yet. I'm an alcoholic. I'm a drug addict. I'm homosexual. I'm a genius.

Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I've lived a lot in communist...

I've lived a lot in communist countries and they're intensely interested in money. I think they are more interested in money than capitalists are. They're the most materialistic people in the world. What they're actually living for is material things. The irony of that is that in communist countries there isn't anything to buy.

Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

People who are having a love-...

People who are having a love-sex relationship are continuously lying to each other because the very nature of the relationship demands that they do, because you have to make a love object of this person, which means that you editorialize about them. You cut out what you don't want to see, you add this if it isn't there. And so therefore you're building a lie.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Those fellows, they're always...

Those fellows, they're always crying over killers. Never a thought for the victims.

Champagne does have one regular drawback: swilled as a regular thing a certain sourness settles in the tummy, and the result is permanent bad breath. Really incurable.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

That's the question: is truth...

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.

Brazil was beastly but Buenos Aires the best. Not Tiffany's, but almost.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

What I do requires fantastic concentration... but you can't be totally alone, or you lose all contact with reality, so even when I'm engrossed and secluded, Jack Dunphy can be there. He's my oldest and best friend, and best critic too.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Then why does Kenneth Anger w...

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.

New York is a diamond iceberg floating in river water.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

You don't understand. You've ...

You don't understand. You've never hated anybody. No, I never have. We're allotted just so much time on earth, and I wouldn't want the Lord to see me wasting mine in any such manner.

Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.

But I know what I like.' She smiled, and et the cat drop to the floor. 'It's like Tiffany's,'she said. 'Not that I give a hoot about jewellery. Diamonds, yes. But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty; and even that's risky.

I'd met Sharon Tate at the Cannes Film Festival.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
