Quote

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.

...walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Gardening is the greatest tonic and therapy a human being can have. Even if you have only a tiny piece of earth, you can create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for. If we begin by respecting plants, it's inevitable we'll respect people.
Audrey Hepburn

Cheating on a good woman is like choosing trash over treasure.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
I am not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But,listed separately, I have a few good features.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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

To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.

People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF.

If you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?
Audrey Hepburn
Image
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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.

I don't bite you know ... unless it's called for.

Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!
Audrey Hepburn
Image
To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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
Image
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.

This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important. That's when Paris smells its sweetest. It's the damp chestnut trees.
