Holly Golightly

"I'm not interested in what anybody's doing. People are always telling me about their troubles, and frankly, I find it exhausting."

"The most beautiful thing in the world is a new pair of shoes."

"I've got to do something about the way I live. I think it's time I saw things for what they really are."

"Don't you make any unkind remarks about October. It's the best month for weddings."

"I'm like cat here. A no-name slob. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us."

"You know what's wrong with you? You're chicken, that's all."

"I'm always leaving things and people before they leave me."

"I thought I'd better turn professional."

"You can make yourself anything you want to be."

"I'm terrified of not being successful in the world."

"Everyone has secrets."

"I'm not sure what the theme of my life is. Maybe I don't have one."

"Darling, I think those are very attractive qualities."

"I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together."

"Funny thing is, no matter where you run, you end up running into yourself."

"I'm like a cat. Mysterious, independent, beautiful."

"One day you're going to wake up and realize what you've lost."

"I believe in Christ and I go to St. Matthew's Cathedral."

"The only real thing about me is this cat."

"Poor Fred. He was always a gentleman."

"I don't want to marry anybody. I just want to keep on living like I am."

"Isn't it divine?"

"I really can't stay for dinner."

"You know what I like about you? You're not one of those dull creatures."

"We can't just let things happen. We have to make them happen."

"I hate to leave things unfinished."

"Money is trash. It's the dirtiest thing in the world."

"I'm tired of this phony life. I want to go somewhere and be real."

"Tiffany's is the only thing that calms me down."

"I'm not a member of any organization—I'm too busy."
