![“It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband…” quote by Audrey Hepburn](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/516/audrey-hepburn-1706_apartment_it-s-sad-if-people-think-that-s-homemaki_83485.jpg)
