Truman Capote (1924-1984) is one of the most successful representatives of American literature. He is the author of the novels "Other Voices, Other Rooms", "Breakfast in Tiffany," Harvested Harvest, "Cold-blooded" - a documentary story about the 1959 proverbial murders, "Chameleon Music", and many stories, many of his works have been translated into Bulgarian.
Here are the quotations from Capote, published at brainyquote.com and goodreads.com:
"Better to look to heaven than to live there."
"I am not yet a saint, I am an alcoholic, a drug addict, a homosexual, and a genius."
"I'm almost as big as a rifle and no less noisy."
"Imagination can open every door, turn the key and allow the horror to enter."
"The scientific fact is that if you live in California you lose a little bit of your IQ each year."
"The writer cannot be blamed for what the heroes say."
"Young people think older people are fools, older people know that young people are fools."
"The problem of life outside the law is that you lose his protection."
"Friendship is a full-time job if you ask me."
"The brain can accept advice, but not the heart." Love does not know boundaries, however deeply submerged, it always finds its way to the surface.
"The conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue, so there are so few good conversations: because of a shortage, two intelligent speakers rarely meet."
"Life is a relatively good play with a very badly written third act."
