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.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
For life: it is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed. For work: the truth can only be recalled, never invented.
Marilyn Monroe
I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame has a special burden, which I might as well state here and now. I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. But what goes with it can be a burden
Marilyn Monroe
I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.
Marilyn Monroe
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
Marilyn Monroe
Do not worry, and worry.
Marilyn Monroe
You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.
Marilyn Monroe
I hear you're looking for a sexy blonde to play with the Marx Brothers. Would you like to see me. I'm blonde and I'm sexy.
Marilyn Monroe
Someone said to me, 'If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.'
Marilyn Monroe
What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?
Marilyn Monroe
Let yourself go, the pleasure of physical movement is so important. If that's a problem, you say to yourself, what is there that I am afraid of, or hiding? Maybe your libido!
Marilyn Monroe
The one thing a person wants in life is usually something basic that money can't buy.
Marilyn Monroe
But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I'll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium.
Marilyn Monroe
Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.
Marilyn Monroe
To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.
Marilyn Monroe
I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
Marilyn Monroe
People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn't see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one.
Marilyn Monroe
A smart girl leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe
all girls are beautiful in their own way
