Holly Golightly: She said it

“I've got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can't go to Sing Sing with a green face.”

“I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.”

“Timber!”

“It should take you exactly four seconds to cross from here to that door. I'll give you two.”

“No. People don't belong to people.”

“It's the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing... and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember?”

“It's useful being top banana in the shock department.”

“A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick.”

“Promise me one thing: don't take me home until I'm drunk - very drunk indeed.”

“I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does, they might as well be dead.”

“Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.”
