Truman Capote

“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.”

“Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.”

“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.”

“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”

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

“I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.”

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