Quotes

"Holly: Listen. You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
Holly: No. The blues are when you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long -- you're just sad, that's all. But the mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Did you ever get that feeling?
Paul: Sure.
Holly: Well when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump into a cab and go to Tiffany's! Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it. Nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany's then -- then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!"

"Paul: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken. You've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say "Okay, life's a fact." People DO fall in love. People DO belong to each other. Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage! Well baby, you're already in that cage -- you built it yourself. And it's not bounded on the west by Tulip Texas or on the east by Somali Land; it's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run you just end up running into yourself."

Sherlock Holmes

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."
Dan Quayle

"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art-or at least stay in a work of art, when abroad."
