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 all in at once.
As quoted in Audrey Hepburn: A Bio-bibliography (1994) by David Hofstede
Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.
As quoted in Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (2007)
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.
As quoted in Audrey Hepburn (2002), p. 108
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.
As quoted in How to Be Lovely (2005)
Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing, not a career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status.
