About This Quote

is a quote from Audrey Hepburn from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. In this quote, Audrey Hepburn is talking about how she met George Peppard and is telling him that she was looking for a man who would be a partner in her marriage, not someone who would be a lover. She wanted a man she could trust her with her most personal secrets and have that man be there to spend time with her when she was hurting. What she got instead was a man who is only interested in being her lover and doesn't seem to care about the relationship between them. When Audrey Hepburn met George Peppard, she thought he was going to make a good husband, but instead he only wanted to be her lover.
