Truman Capote
  • Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

  • Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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