More quotes by Audrey Hepburn
Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?
Audrey Hepburn
For entertainment, a party bears no one in as much as those who are not there.
Audrey Hepburn
I love people who make me laugh!
Audrey Hepburn
It makes me self-conscious. It's because I'm known, in the limelight, that it's getting all the gravy, but if you knew, if you saw some of the people who make it possible for UNICEF to help these children survive. These are the people who do the jobs-the unknowns, whose names you will never know...I at least get a dollar a year, but they don't.
Audrey Hepburn
If we are meant to love thy neighbor as theyself, then surely we should love the world's children as our own.
Audrey Hepburn
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
Audrey Hepburn
It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear get on with it.'
Audrey Hepburn
When the chips are down, you are alone, and loneliness can be terrifying. Fortunately, I've always had a chum I could call. And I love to be alone. It doesn't bother me one bit. I’m my own company.
Audrey Hepburn
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
Audrey Hepburn
For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime.
Audrey Hepburn
To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.
Audrey Hepburn
You have to look at yourself objectively. Analyze yourself like an instrument. You have to be absolutely frank with yourself. Face your handicaps, don't try to hide them. Instead, develop something else.
Audrey Hepburn
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
Audrey Hepburn
Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.
Audrey Hepburn
nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing. Not a career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we're going to survive with dignity.
Audrey Hepburn
Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?
Audrey Hepburn
I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.
Audrey Hepburn
To be beautiful lips - say kind words. To my eyes were beautiful - radiate good. A woman's beauty is not in the clothes, not in its shape or hairstyle. Beauty woman in her eyes, because the eyes - is the gateway to the heart, where love lives.
Audrey Hepburn
No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Audrey Hepburn
Giving is living. If you stop wanting to give, there's nothing more to live for.
Audrey Hepburn
