Life is difficult enough with...

Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I just live one day at a time...

I just live one day at a time. That's my new theory in life.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I love New York, even though ...

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.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

It's a very excruciating life...

It's a very excruciating life facing that blank piece of paper every day and having to reach up somewhere into the clouds and bring something down out of them.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Yes: but aren't love and marr...

Yes: but aren't love and marriage notoriously synonymous in the minds of most women? Certainly very few men get the first without promising the second: love, that is--if it's just a matter of spreading her legs, almost any woman will do that for nothing.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

In my garden, after a rainfal...

In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the
breaking of new blooms.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

He loved her, he loved her, a...

He loved her, he loved her, and until he'd loved her she had never minded being alone.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

It is very seldom that a pers...

It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I got this idea of doing a re...

I got this idea of doing a really serious big work-it would be precisely like a novel, with a single difference: Every word of it would be true from beginning to end.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Did you ever, in that wonderl...

Did you ever, in that wonderland wilderness of adolesence [sic] ever, quite unexpectedly, see something, a dusk sky, a wild bird, a landscape, so exquisite terror touched you at the bone? And you are afraid, terribly afraid the smallest movement, a leaf, say, turning in the wind, will shatter all? That is, I think, the way love is, or should be: one lives in beautiful terror.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Past certain ages or certain ...

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 268 quotes

Shoot, boy, the country's jus...

Shoot, boy, the country's just fulla folks what knows everything, and don't understand nothing, just fullofem.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

All human life has its season...

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 268 quotes

That's the difference between...

That's the difference between the serious artist and the craftsman--the craftsman can take material and because of his abilities do a professional job of it. The serious artist, like Proust, is like an object caught by a wave and swept to shore. He's obsessed by his material; it's like a venom working in his blood and the art is the antidote.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

You call yourself a free spir...

You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

To me, the greatest pleasure ...

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

No one will ever know what 'I...

No one will ever know what 'In Cold Blood' took out of me. It scraped me right down to the marrow of my bones. It nearly killed me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

A conversation is a dialogue,...

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

I don't care what anybody say...

I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Friendship is a pretty full-t...

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
