5. “The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she
combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in
her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides. True beauty in a
woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that
she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the
beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
― Audrey Hepburn
