More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
If fame goes by, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.
Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
Marilyn Monroe
Of the nude pictures: Sure I posed. I needed the money.
Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
Marilyn Monroe
I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
Marilyn Monroe
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.
Marilyn Monroe
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo.
Marilyn Monroe
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
Marilyn Monroe
Most men judge your importance in their lives by how much you can hurt them.
Marilyn Monroe
Enjoy the fact that you're a woman and men will enjoy it too.
Marilyn Monroe
