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.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
If marriage were only bed, we could have made it.
Marilyn Monroe
I have always felt comfortable in blue jeans. I have found it interesting, however, that people also whistle at blue jeans. I have to admit that I like mine to fit. There's nothing I hate worse than baggy blue jeans.
Marilyn Monroe
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
Marilyn Monroe
But square-cut or pear-shaped, These rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Marilyn Monroe
It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.
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
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
Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
Marilyn Monroe
I have too much imagination to be a housewife
Marilyn Monroe
A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.
Marilyn Monroe
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
Marilyn Monroe
There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.
Marilyn Monroe
Men are climbing to the moon, but they don’t seem interested in the beating human heart.
Marilyn Monroe
A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.
Marilyn Monroe
You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.
Marilyn Monroe
President Kennedy is very democratic and very penetrating.
Marilyn Monroe
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
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
