Truman Capote Quote

I've had, and continue to receive, my full share of abuse, some of it extremely personal, but it doesn't faze me anymore. I can read the most outrageous libel about myself and never skip a pulse-beat. Never demean yourself by talking back to a critic, never. Write those letters to the editor in your head, but don't put them on paper.
