Marilyn Monroe

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

"I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one."

"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."

"It's far better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone — so far."

"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you."

"I just want to be wonderful."

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."

"You never know what life is like, until you have lived it."

"If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty."

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!"

"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."

"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."

"They will only care when you're gone."

"It's all make believe, isn't it?"

"I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't."

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."
