Marilyn Monroe is truly an American legend, so it's only
fitting that we remember the day of her birth with some
famous Marilyn Monroe quotes. Whether you love her for her
beauty, her intriguing mystery, her honesty, or the fact
that she was a size 16 and still managed to acquire
superstar status (that's right ladies, a size 16), these
quotes are the perfect way to honor her on her birthday.
1. "If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got
anywhere."
2. "I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can
be a woman in it."
3. "Creativity has got to start with humanity and when
you're a human being, you feel, you suffer."
4. "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."
5. "No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little
girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even
if they aren't."
6. "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."
7. "Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a
sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but
it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that...' But you do want to
stay intact--intact and on two feet."
8. "Fame is fickle and I know it. It has its compensations,
but it also has its drawbacks and I've experienced them
both."
9. "I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to
be loved, for myself and for my talent."
10. "Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then
being one."
11. "I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't
something I ever took for granted. You see, I was brought
up differently from the average American child because the
average child is brought up expecting to be happy."
12. "My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a
fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually
feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was
wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to
change, to improve!"
13. "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."
14. "I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have
the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. 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."
When we lost Marilyn Monroe (or should we say Norma Jeane
Mortenson?) we lost a truly unique soul. While her death
remains somewhat of a mystery, one thing is certain -- she
left us much too soon. Let's remember her on her birthday
with these fourteen Marilyn Monroe quotes.
