“I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany´s.”

“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; but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.”

“Capote's rejoinder to Kerouac's assertion that he never needed to edit his work....."But, that's not writing . That's typing.”

“I thought that Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman. I thought so right up to the moment that I cut his throat.”
