“You know what's wrong with you, Miss whoever-you-are, You're chicken! You've got no guts. You are 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 and wild thing. And you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you are already in that cage. You built it yourself...It's wherever you go because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."

Holly Golightly: He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.
Paul Varjak: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store?
Holly Golightly: That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's!

Holly Golightly: 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.
