"When I was 11, the whole world..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one...”

“Do people ever get over being shy? I think it’s with you for life-like the color of your eyes.”

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

“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.”

“A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.”

“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth.”

“As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.”

“Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.”

“For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The very sun and moon seem taken from us. Outside, the day may be blue and gold, but the light that creeps down through the thickly-muffled glass of the small iron-barred window beneath which one sits is grey and niggard. It is always twilight in one's cell, as it is always twilight in one's heart. And in the sphere of thought, no less than in the sphere of time, motion is no more.”
