If you happen to capture my imagination for some reason and I decide to write about you and you don't like what I wrote about you, which is entirely possible, then yes, I'm a dangerous writer.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Most contemporary novelists, ...

Most contemporary novelists, especially the American and the French, are too subjective, mesmerized by private demons; theyre enraptured by their navels and confined by a view that ends with their own toes.

I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule and someday I'll try to get around to it.

Are there any writers on the literary scene whom I consider truly great? Yes: Truman Capote.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Those final weeks, spanning e...

Those final weeks, spanning end of summer and the beginning of another autumn, are blurred in memory, perhaps because our understanding of each other had reached that sweet depth where two people communicate more often in silence than in words: an affectionate quietness replaces the tensions, the unrelaxed chatter and chasing about that produce a friendship’s more showy, more, in the surface sense, dramatic moments.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

A disquieting loneliness came into my life, but it induced no hunger for friends of longer acquaintance: they seemed now like a salt-free, sugarless diet.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

She was a triumph over ugline...

She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

First, a gorgeous breakfast: just everything you can imagine from flapjacks and fried squirrel to hominy grits and honey in the comb...we're so impatient to get at the presents we can't eat a mouthful.

Lee Harvey Oswald was boiling...

Lee Harvey Oswald was boiling over about everything: the American ambassador; the Russians-he was mad at them because they wouldn't let him stay in Moscow. We talked to him for about half an hour, and my Italian friend didn't think the guy was worth filing a story about. Just another paranoid hysteric; the Moscow woods were rampant with those. I never thought about him again, not until many years later. Not until after the assassina­tion when I saw his picture flashed on television.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

When the prisoner is brought ...

When the prisoner is brought down from Death Row he steps from the elevator directly into a "holding" room that adjoins the witness room. There are two cells in this "holding" room, two, in case it's a double execution. They're ordinary cells, just like this one, and the prisoner spends his last night there before his execu­tion in the morning, reading, listening to the radio, playing cards with the guards.

When you've got nowhere to turn, turn on the gas.

would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.

One always likes one's latest book best. That's a natural feeling.

Truman Capote 268 quotes

Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.

I would have liked to have known Oscar Wilde because I think he must have been very amusing and entertaining.

If Francoise Sagan hadn't written a book called A Chateau in Sweden, I would certainly write a short story called A Chateau in Puerto Rico. And I may yet.
