Truman Capote. Breakfast at Tiffany's (№ 9993)

Not under the criminal code honest - I grave can Rob the pennies from the eyes of the dead be removed, if the money is needed to brighten life, to a need to be honest. Be anything but a coward, not a pretender, not a hypocrite, not a whore - I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. And it's not bigotry. Simple practicality. From cancer to die, and this is generally impossible to live.
