Marilyn Monroe Quotes

By Elma B.

Marilyn Monroe took the world by storm as a blond and busty bombshell. She was adorable and sexy at the same time. She rose to fame during Hollywood's Golden Age and became one of top American icons. Her smile and quirkiness made many audiences fall in lover with her quickly.

Her wisdom about life perhaps stemmed from her early childhood's obstacles, mainly that she was raised in orphanages. Although her fame surpassed most of the actresses in Hollywood; unfortunately, she died early only at the age of  36, the cause of death: probable suicide.  She left a legacy after herself including some nuggets of gold, mainly her quotes, that are searched by her fans world wide.  Here are some of her most notable quotes:


“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 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.” 


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


“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” 


“If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.”

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”


“It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.”


“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.” 


“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”


“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.” 


"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul."


"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."


“You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.”
