Blair Waldorf - Character Analysis Ah, the girl that everyone loves to hate. Blair Waldorf is highly regarded as the queen of young society in Manhattan. There’s many things to be said about her, some not so nice.

“You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.” This quote by Audrey Hepburn adds truth to the idea that an individual can reveal what they believe to be valuable qualities in a member of society through their judgements of their peers; if they say a person spending all day sleeping on a couch is good member of society, then you know that that individual values selfishness and unproductiveness over the opposite.

“I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone”. Audrey Hepburn, in this quote, encompasses the ideals of many people who just want to have time to themselves, but describes no one better than Holly Golightly.
