杜鲁门•卡波特语录
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
失败是给成功提味的调味品。
——杜鲁门•卡波特

天空更适合仰望,而不是居住。
——杜鲁门•卡波特《蒂凡尼的早餐》
It may be normal, darling; but I'd rather be natural.
亲爱的,这可能是正常的,但我宁愿是自然的。
——杜鲁门•卡波特《蒂凡尼的早餐》
No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
无论你去哪里,你总是会遇见你自己。
——杜鲁门•卡波特《蒂凡尼的早餐》
The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
头脑可以接受劝告,但是心却不能,而爱,因为没学地理,所以不识边界。
——杜鲁门•卡波特 《别的声音,别的房间》
Imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in.
当然,想象力可以打开任何一扇门,只要轻轻转动钥匙,恐怖就趁机而入。
——杜鲁门•卡波特 《冷血》
When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.
换另一种牌子的香烟也好,搬到一个新地方去住也好,订阅别的报纸也好,坠入爱河又脱身出来也好,我们一直在以或轻浮或深沉的方式,来对抗日常生活那无法消释的乏味成分。
——杜鲁门•卡波特 《夏日十字路口》
There is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
只有一种罪不能被原谅,那就是故意的残忍。
——杜鲁门•卡波特《圣诞忆旧集》
