Ten Inspiring Quotes by Marilyn Monroe to Kick Start your Day

As Marilyn says-"Always, always, always believe in yourself. Because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?" 

Marilyn Monroe was no ordinary celebrity; she symbolized the cultural perspective of feminine glamour in the fifties. She was imitated innumerable times by women as an attempt to look as stunning and perfect as her. It wouldn't be wrong to assume that Monroe serves as an inspiration of standard of the picture-perfect woman even today.

In the process of her transformation from a demure Norma Jean Mortenson to Marilyn Monroe-the blonde beauty, she gained a lot of wisdom, intelligence and experience making her one of smartest women of her times.

Beyond her golden curls and mischievous smile, her thoughts give a peep into the personality of the actor. These quotes reflect her deepest desires and philosophical disposition akin to an old soul asking to be heard.

  1. "This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth."
  2. "We should all start to live before we get old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
  3. "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."
  4. "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
  5. "Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?"
  6. "To all the girls who think you're fat because you're not a size zero. You're the beautiful one. It's society who's ugly."
  7. "I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."
  8. "Friendship is the bestiest thing that comes to life. Friends will always be there for you don't worry about the fakes worry about the people who had your back from the start and never treated you wrong always remember they are your real friends don't never take them as granted because one day you're going to lose a good friend by the way your action's are when you see a good friend stick to that person."
  9. "Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will?"
  10. "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."
It's amply clear that she deliberately veiled her smartness beneath her 'dumb blonde' image and the above lines by her prove it well!
