Additional quotes by Marilyn Monroe

كان لدى الناس عادة بأن ينظروا إلي كما لو أني كنت مرآة على نحو ما، بدلا من كوني شخصاً. لم يكونوا يرونني; كانوا يرون أفكارهم الشهوانية الخاصة. كانوا يتقنعون بقناع زائف من البراءة والطهر, بدعواهم إياي أنني أنا الشخص الفاسق.

I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me — and that I've made of myself — as a sex symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other woman's and I can't live up to it.
