He'd always been willing to confess his faults, for, by admitting them, it was as if he made them no longer exist.

That isn't writing at all, it's typing.

I've always seen myself as a winner, even as a kid. If I hadn't, I just might have gone down the drain a couple of times. I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it 'til the end of the race.

You can do films for the fun of it, or the thrill of it, but certain films you can't do unless there's something driving you, something you have a passion for that will pull you through.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

But we are alone, darling chil...

But we are alone, darling child, terribly, isolated each from the other; so fierce is the world's ridicule we cannot speak or show our tenderness; for us, death is stronger than life, it pulls like a wind through the dark, all our cries burlesqued in joyless laughter; and with the garbage of loneliness stuffed down us until our guts burst bleeding green, we go screaming round the world, dying in our rented rooms, nightmare hotels, eternal homes of the transient heart.

[L]ove, having no geography, knows no boundaries.

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

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.

There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.

The good thing about masturbation is that you don't have to get dressed up for it.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

But mostly they were lies I to...

But mostly they were lies I told; it wasn't my fault, I couldn't remember, because it was as though I'd been to one of those supernatural castles visited by characters in legends: once away, you do not remember, all that is left is the ghostly echo of haunting wonder.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Those fellows, they're always ...

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

Truman Capote 268 quotes

It may be normal, darling; but I'd rather be natural.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Since each story presents its ...

Since each story presents its own technical problems, obviously one can't generalize about them on a two-times-two-equals-four basis. Finding the right form for your story is simply to realize the most natural way of telling the story. The test of whether or not a writer has defined the natural shape of his story is just this: After reading it, can you imagine it differently, or does it silence your imagination and seem to you absolute and final? As an orange is final. As an orange is something nature has made just rig

It is no shame to have a dirty face- the shame comes when you keep it dirty.
