“….the kind of people he didn’t like-and the kind he did, both-stemmed from his insecurities. His inferiority feelings. Very few of his friends were his equals- anybody he’d have to compete with if you know what I mean. Mostly they were strays, idolizers, characters who were dependent on him one way or another. The same with the girls he took out. Plain sort of somebody’s secretary type girls-nice enough but nothing that’s going to start a stampede of competitors”.

Truman Capote, “The Duke in His Domain”, 1957.
