Audrey Hepburn
I hate girls that giggle all the time... You hate any girl that David looks at.
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
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

There must be something wrong with those people who think Audrey Hepburn doesn’t perspire, hiccup or sneeze, because they know that’s not true. I n fact, I hiccup more than most.
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
My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.
Audrey Hepburn
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
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Audrey Hepburn
I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.
Audrey Hepburn
Actually, depravity can be terribly boring if you don't smoke or drink.
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 was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing Funny Face when I couldn't sing and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.
Audrey Hepburn
Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn't help if your ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up.
