In celebration of her birthday, I want to dedicate this post to her.

Most of us know her face and the many things she has achieved. The definition of beauty lies in her every picture. Even in her absence she still manages to radiate peoples lives.
She was a model, a fashion icon, someone who took Hollywood's golden age by storm.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes by the beautiful Audrey 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
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.
I stopped with that last quote because I find it so beautiful and tasteful... But more importantly, I find it to be very true.
