I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

She had only one flaw. She wa...

She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise whe was perfect.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Intelligence alone can't make...

Intelligence alone can't make a good writer and style alone can't make a good writer - that is, not a really important or significant writer - but the two things together make a really good writer.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

It's worth your life to order...

It's worth your life to order an omelette in most restaurants. You never know what you're going to get.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

What I found does the most go...

What I found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it;nothing very bad could happen to you there.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I used to spend all of my tim...

I used to spend all of my time projecting. I was never in the moment. It was always tomorrow or next week or two months from now. That was one of the reasons I always had this sense of anxiety.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Of many magics, one is watchi...

Of many magics, one is watching a beloved sleep: free of eyes and awareness, you for a sweet moment hold the heart of him; helpless, he is then all, and however irrationally, you have trusted him to be, man-pure, child-tender.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I told you: you can make your...

I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I couldn't understand a sense...

I couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

There's lots of things you do...

There's lots of things you don't know. All kinds of strange things . . . mostly they happened before we were born: that makes them seem to me so much more real.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Most people who become suddenl...

Most people who become suddenly famous overnight will find that they lose practically eighty percent of their friends. Your old friends just can't stand it for some reason.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I've been working, working, wo...

I've been working, working, working, and you know, sometimes you look back at your work and you see that it just isn't any good.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Any work of art, provided it s...

Any work of art, provided it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

One day, I started writing, no...

One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Even an attorney of moderate t...

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.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

...there was a blond misty boy...

...there was a blond misty boy sitting beside me, and he looked at me, and I at him, and we were not strangers: our hands moved towards each other to embrace. I never heard his voice, for we did not speak; it is a shame, I should so like the memory of it. Loneliness, like fever, thrives on night, but there with him light broke, breaking in the trees like birdsong, and when sunrise came, he loosened his fingers from mine, and walked away, that misty boy, my friend.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

There is really no practical h...

There is really no practical help that one can offer; it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own convictions, or working with one's own work; your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Hulga the whole while hollering like a half-slaughtered hog. (Attention, students of literature! Alliteration - have you noticed? - is my least vice.)
