Lessons on being a woman and life

Holly Golightly’s

Life Mantras

 

From Truman Capote’s Breakfast At Tiffany’s

"Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department."

"If a man doesn't like baseball, then he must like horses, and if he doesn't like either of them, well, I'm in trouble anyway: he don't like girls."

"For all her chic thinness, she had an almost breakfast-cereal air of health, a soap-and-lemon cleanness, a rough pink darkening of the cheeks."

“Every few years even our bodies undergo a complete overhaul-desirable or not, it is a natural thing that we should change.

"My yardstick is how somebody treats me."

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

“No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."

“The army of wrongness rampant in the world might as well march over me.”

“Rather have cancer than a dishonest heart.”

“A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick."

“Should take you about four seconds to walk from here to the door. I'll give you two."

I like what you did with the acrostic idea. Unfortunately, I could not include this in the contest as it called for original work inspired by the novella.
Thank you for sharing your favourite quotes with us.
