Audrey Hepburn Quotes...

Audrey Hepburn Quotes


"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."


"Paris is always a good idea."


"If I get married, I want to be very married."


"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm.
As you get older, remember you have another hand. The first is to help
yourself, the second is to help others."


"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.'"


"If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read
fairy-tales and I like them best of all."


"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at
leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is
the best calorie burner. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls...
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."


"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips,
speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge
that you are never alone."


"People even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."


"I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."

Audrey Hepburn poem...

I love this poem that Audrey Hepburn wrote.
It was read at her funeral years later...



For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
