"Women who try to be equivalent with..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.”

“Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered... to feel she is the most important thing in someone's world. Only a man can paint this picture.”

“Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.”

“Three simple words can describe the nature of the social revolution that is talking place and what Negroes really want. They are the words "all," "now," and "here."”

“We may be different races and religions but we are all part of the same human family”

“I agree with you, Mr. Chairman, that the working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the more numerous, and as you added that those were the sentiments of the gentlemen present, representing not only the working class, but citizens of other callings than those of the mechanic, I am happy to concur with you in these sentiments, not only of the native born citizens, but also of the Germans and foreigners from other countries.”

“Women find it far more difficult to overcome their inclination to coquetry than to overcome their love.”

“I can easily believe it. Women of that class have great opportunities, and if they are intelligent may be well worth listening to. Such varieites of human nature as they are in the habit of witnessing! And it is not merely in its follies, that they are read; for they see it occasionally under every circumstance that can be most interesting or affecting. What instances must pass before them of ardent, disinterested, self-denying attachment, of heroism, fortitude, patience, resignation-- of all the sacrifices that ennoble us most. A sick chamber may often furnish the worth of volumes.”

“What interests me is why men think of women as witches. It's because they're so fascinating and exasperating, so other.”
