More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.
Marilyn Monroe
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
Marilyn Monroe
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't forgive people because I'm weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes.
Marilyn Monroe
If you don't love me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.
Marilyn Monroe
I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone's wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.
Marilyn Monroe
At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox.
Marilyn Monroe
A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.
Marilyn Monroe
Promises are worse than lies. You don't just make them believe, you also make them hope.
Marilyn Monroe
President Kennedy is very democratic and very penetrating.
Marilyn Monroe
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time happiness never becomes a habit.
Marilyn Monroe
I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.
Marilyn Monroe
Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all
Marilyn Monroe
I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.
Marilyn Monroe
A sex-symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something I'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of.
Marilyn Monroe
I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
Marilyn Monroe
No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
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
Sex is nature, and I believe in going along with nature.
Marilyn Monroe
