miss audrey

yesterday we celebrated the birthday of the beautiful, the honorable, the classiest of ladies, Audrey Hepburn.

to me, she is a supreme example of poise, grace, beauty and kindness.

these are a few of her words of wisdom.

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

"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."

(from one of my favorite scenes in Breakfast at Tiffany's)

"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."

happy birthday, Audrey. thanks for being an inspiration to ladies, little and big, everywhere.
