Marilyn Monroe

Die Liebe und die Arbeit sind die beiden einzigen wahren Dinge in unserem Leben. Sie gehören zusammen, sonst ist es schief. Die Arbeit ist selbst eine Form der Liebe.

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.

That's the trouble, a sex symbol becomes a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something, I'd rather it be sex than some of the things we've got symbols of... I hate to be a thing.

Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.

I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.

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.

All men are the same. They just have different faces so that women differentiate them.

Everyone has violence in themselves. I'm violent.

The sweaters were hand-me-downs. They were too small for me, and I guess that's what made everyone take notice. But it made me feel important. Men were looking at me for the first time. And I liked it. I felt good in them. And when I felt how tight they held me in, I quit wearing a bra.

I mariti non sono mai amanti così meravigliosi come quando stanno tradendo la moglie.

But as long as one is alive, one can be vital. But you don't give up until you stop breathing.

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.

All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.

A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.

I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.
