Marilyn Monroe quotes are much deeper and more meaningful than you might think.
Many people know exactly who Marilyn Monroe was in her life and what she achieved. But not many people know that her birth name was no way near as sexy as her stage name.
Born on June 1, 1926, as Norma Jeane Mortenson, a name she thankfully changed when she started getting famous, Marilyn Monroe was a talented singer and model as well as being a successful actress and sex symbol.
Having grown up predominantly in foster homes, Monroe began her modelling career early in the 1940’s and secured her first movie contract with Twentieth Century Fox in 1946.
Despite her “dumb blonde” persona, Marilyn Monroe was smart and savvy, as the quotes below testify to.
Monroe’s “dumb blondeness” served her well in her career, although people who were close to the Hollywood starlet knew that, probably due to her hard life growing up, she was no fool.
Before her tragic death in 1962, aged just 32, Marilyn Monroe received a Golden Globe Award for her 1959 performance in the classic film, Some Like It Hot.
We hope you enjoy the Marilyn Monroe quotes that we at Life Daily have compiled for you today:
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.
A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
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.
She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know.
I don’t mind living in a man’s world, as long as I can be a woman in it.
It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.
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.
