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.

More quotes by 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
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
We all want to be loved, don't we? Everyone looks for a way of finding love. It's a constant search for affection in every walk of life.
Audrey Hepburn
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
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
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
A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual.
Audrey Hepburn
I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness.
Audrey Hepburn
I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.
Audrey Hepburn
To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.
Audrey Hepburn
Pick the day. Enjoy it– to the hilt.
Audrey Hepburn
Giving is living. If you stop wanting to give, there's nothing more to live for.
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
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
You mustnt give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get.
Audrey Hepburn
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.
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
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
There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.
Audrey Hepburn
I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.
