Truman Capote Quotes About Earth

Quotes about: Earth

• All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent.

  Truman Capote

  Summer, Spring, Dark

At all hours it was necessary to keep a lamp lighted, and Mrs. Miller lost track of the days: Friday was no different from Saturday and on Sunday she went to the grocery: closed, of course.

• I'll wager at the end a body realizes the Lord has already shown Himself. That things as they are -- her hand circles in a gesture that gathers clouds and kites and grass and Queenie pawing earth over her bone - just what they've always seen, was seeing Him. As for me, I could leave the world with today in my eyes.

  Truman Capote

  Time On Earth, Want, Lord
