Miss Golightly

Sitting here on my couch getting a good refresher on the most intriguing character I have seen in a movie, Miss Holly Golightly. For those that do not know who she is, you are missing out! She is a stunning and engaging woman played by the talented Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. 
It reminded me of a quote I read recently from Miss Hepburn:


 

So my friend, you know that I am hardly a "classic" woman, I'm sure i'm not even considered a typical woman to most. But I have no desire to spend time writing about what others may think of me because that in fact, matters less then....well..... anything. I haven't always been this way, but lets face it, we are all evolving. Everyday we are in the midst of a new normal, a new adventure and the things that matter most are not easily recognized by our desensitized rationality. Life is hazy and unpredictable. The only way to truly recognize whats important, is by weeding out all the other things in life, the clothes, the jewelery, the radio, the noise...... Sometimes it seems impossible to rise above the ramblings in the streets, but I believe that ability will distinguish the beautiful people from the others, and that it is the only way to be undoubtedly happy. Happiness emulates beauty more then any material ever could, more than any pair of high heels or any amount of make-up. 

Insert rain, a lonely taxi driver and an argument turned to an unlikely love scene. And then Paul delivers one of the best lines "no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself", as he slams the car door. Holly dashes out in the rain to find her nameless cat, and of course, claim her impulsive love.
"Moon River, wider than a mile  (I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way"....oh yes, you must see this movie.
