Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.
