Day 100: Marilyn


"I am 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, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
-Marilyn Monroe

I don't know much about Marilyn Monroe, besides the fact that she's an American icon, but I stumbled up this quote (on StumbleUpon) and I know I said this about the quote I used yesterday, but I really really love this quote! I've been reading other quotes by Marilyn, and she said some really great things! I had no idea! It makes me want to read more about her.

Here are some other Marilyn Monroe quotes that I love:

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can 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."

"If you're gonna be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty."

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

"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."

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I'm just a girl who wishes for the world."

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." (I love this one!)

...and I don't have time to type any more right now, but there are soooo many! I never knew she was so witty and wise and clever!
