“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.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I don’t understand why people aren’t a little more generous with each other.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“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.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“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.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“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.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“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?”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I don’t mind living in a man’s world, as long as I can be a woman in it.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“Fame doesn’t fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I’m a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they’ve made of me– and that I’ve made of myself– as a sex symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other woman’s and I can’t live up to it.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I don’t consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I’m one of the world’s most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“My work is the only ground I’ve ever had to stand on. I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation but I’m working on the foundation.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I think that sexuality is only attractive when it’s natural and spontaneous.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I’ve experienced them both.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I’m one of the world’s most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I won’t be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn’t mean I want them to stop looking.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“Respect is one of life’s greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don’t have that?”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“Arthur Miller wouldn’t have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“I want to grow old without facelifts… I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I’ve made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know you.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else’s ideas about you, but what’s important is how you feel about yourself – for survival and living day to day with what comes up.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“This life is what you make it. No 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.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“First, I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll convince myself that I’m an actress.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“The most unsatisfactory men are those who pride themselves on their virility and regard sex as if it were some form of athletics at which you can win cups. It is a woman’s spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or by just staring into space.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, Fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle.”
