Audrey.

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

"Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers.
You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you."

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

"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."

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

"I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory!
I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true."

"Whatever a man might do,
whatever misery or heartache your children might give you -
and they give you a lot -
however much your parents irritate you -
it doesn't matter because you love them."

- Audrey Hepburn
