"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“For life: it is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed. For work: the truth can only be recalled, never invented.”

“The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.”

“I'm personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blond all over.”

“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude.”

“Every mind has a new compass, a new direction of its own, differencing its genius and aim from every other mind.--We call this specialty the bias of each individual. And none of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.”

“It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.”

“Time doth transfix the flourish set on youthAnd delves the parallels in beauty's brow.”

“The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.”

“Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.”
