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.

More quotes by Audrey Hepburn
I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
Audrey Hepburn
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Audrey Hepburn
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Audrey Hepburn
Happiness is health and a short memory!
Audrey Hepburn
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.
Audrey Hepburn
Can I have a silk nightgown with rosebuds on it?
Audrey Hepburn
Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.
Audrey Hepburn
A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.
Audrey Hepburn
You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.
Audrey Hepburn
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.
Audrey Hepburn
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.
Audrey Hepburn
There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.
Audrey Hepburn
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself ... All of which I've earned a living doing.
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
I am proud to have been in a business that gives pleasure, creates beauty, and awakens our conscience, arouses compassion, and perhaps most importantly, gives millions a respite from our so violent world.
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
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
Audrey Hepburn
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
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
Paris is always a good idea.
