Marilyn Monroe's quote

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. Marilyn

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

Dogs never bite me. Just humans.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere.

We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.

It's not true that I had nothing on. I had the radio on.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Who said nights were for sleep?

This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.

When you have a good friend that really cares for you and tries to stick in there with you, you treat them like nothing. Learn to be a good friend because one day you're gonna look up and say I lost a good friend. Learn how to be respectful to your friends, don't just start arguments with them and don't tell them the reason, always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.

I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since.

I love to do the things the censors won't pass.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

I've been on a calendar, but never on time.

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.

It's all make believe, isn't it?

Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through, what am I supposed to do, look intelligent?

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. Marilyn Her Life In Her Own Words

Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
