Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."

Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "There is a moral obligation that those who have should give to those who don't."

Hepburn: "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."

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

Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "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."

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."

Hepburn: "You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him."

Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."

Hepburn: "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."

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

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."

Hepburn: "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."

Hepburn: "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."

Hepburn: "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

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."

Hepburn: "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters."

Hepburn: "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."

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