More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.
Marilyn Monroe
When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.
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
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.
Marilyn Monroe
I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
I think to love bravely is the best and accept - as much as one can bear.
Marilyn Monroe
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Marilyn Monroe
When you have only a single dream it is more than likely to come true - because you keep working toward it without getting mixed up.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm sin, but I'm not the devil.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.
Marilyn Monroe
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe
That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.
Marilyn Monroe
Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?
Marilyn Monroe
I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.
Marilyn Monroe
An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?
Marilyn Monroe
Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I'm invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who'll play the piano after dinner, and I know you're not really invited for yourself. You're just an ornament.
Marilyn Monroe
We should all start to live before we get too old.
Marilyn Monroe
It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.
Marilyn Monroe
I love a natural look in pictures. I like people with a feeling one way or another - it shows an inner life. I like to see that there’s something going on inside them.
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
