The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes - or just by staring into space.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.
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.

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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
Image
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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
Image
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time happiness never becomes a habit.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
There are no women who do not like perfume, there are women who have not found their scent.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I think I have always had a little humor.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I am alone I am always alone no matter what.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
