Zitat des Tages von Audrey Hepburn:
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
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.
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.
If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.
If I get married, I want to be very married.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Everything I learned I learned from the movies.
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.'
I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.
Paris is always a good idea.
I had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.
I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!
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.
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.
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.
I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!
When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.
I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.
I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
