Marilyn Monroe — "I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to …"

"I don't want to be alone. I want to be with someone who loves me."

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

"A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing."

"The body is meant to be seen, not all of it, but enough to entice."

"My marriage didn't make me sad, but it didn't make me happy either. My husband and I hardly spoke to each other. This wasn't because we were angry. We had nothing to say. I was dying of boredom."
