"First principles, Clarice. Simplicity."

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes?"

"I have no plans to call you, Officer Starling."

"We covet what we see every day."

"You use Evyan skin cream, and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps."

"Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship, never."

"What does he do, this man you seek?"

"The most aggressive hunters stalk the wary."

"You're ambitious, aren't you?"

"I can smell you. It's faint, but I smell it."

"Tell me about your mother."

"You're very self-assured for someone so young."

"That doesn't sound like you."

"She is not without merit."

"I'd like to help you with this, Clarice."

"Some of us are born to be alive."

"First principles, Clarice. Simplicity."

"I'm quite certain that I don't know what you mean."

"The world is a place of power."

"You're very direct for a woman."

"I can't help you if you won't be honest."

"You did well, Clarice."

"Have the lambs stopped screaming?"

"A person is smart. People are dumb."

"We are the same, you and I."

"I have no plans to call you, Clarice."

"The world's more full of weeping than you can understand."

"Quid pro quo, Clarice."

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
