Famous quotes by Truman Capote:

"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."

"Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy."

"It's a scientific fact that if you stay in California you lose one point of your IQ every year"

"Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it."

"Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act."

"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."

"The good thing about masturbation is that you don't have to dress up for it"

"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor."

"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."

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

"When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely."

"It is the want to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something."

"I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil."

"Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe."

"I was eleven, then I was sixteen. Though no honors came my way, those were the lovely years."

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

"Fame is only good for one thing - they will cash your check in a small town."

"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."

"Writing stopped being fun when I discovered the difference between good writing and bad and, even more terrifying, the difference between it and true art. And after that, the whip came down."

"Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad."
