There was something about Marilyn Monroe.
She was an iconic sexy fashion icon for over five decades. She was a persona. It went beyond beauty. Marilyn will never get old, because she died so young. Had she lived, Marilyn Monroe would be 86 years old today. It's unclear to many people why, but Marilyn Monroe will be remembered for years to come. Here are my top 45 of Marilyn Monroe's quotes.

Beauty
1. The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
2. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
3. Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, Sweetie. So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
4. No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.
5. I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
6. To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, its society who’s ugly.
7. The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn't any.
8. There is nothing positive about being fat. And there is nothing positive about loving yourself. We all need to conform to society's expectations of who we are, because if we don't, who will? Life is more enjoyable when you are thin and pretty. I was never fat a day in my life and I never will.
9. In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hair-do. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.
Friendship
10. 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 are going to lose a good friend by the way your action's are when you see a good friend stick to that person .
11. When you have a good friend that really cares for you and tries to stick in there with you, you treat them like nothing. Learn to be a good friend because one day you're gonna look up and say I lost a good friend. Learn how to be respectful to your friends, don't just start arguments with them and don't tell them the reason, always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.
12. This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.
Happiness
13. For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
14. It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.
15. It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.
16. I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.
Life
17. A girl doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
18. I’m the type of person that tries to fall back asleep in the morning just to finish a dream.
19. Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
20. 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.
21. We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
22. I believe things happen 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.
23. We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.
24. If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere.
25. You never know what life is like, until you have lived it
26. Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.
27. It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
28. 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.
29. Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together.
30. Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.
Love & Relationship
31. Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature.
32. If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
33. Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.
34. All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same.
35. How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
36. I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.
37. I'm pretty, but I'm not beautiful. I'm sin, but I'm not the devil. I'm good, but I'm not an angel. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
38. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
39. Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.
Success
40. I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
41. Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.
42. I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.
43. 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.
Time
44. I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
45. I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.
