"Who said nights were for sleep?..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“I read poetry to save time.”

“You can read about yourself but what's important is how you feel about yourself.”

“When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.”

“Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim gray sands with light, Far off by furthest Rosses We foot it all the night, Weaving olden dances, Mingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight; To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And is anxious in its sleep. . . .”

“These blessed candles of the night.”

“I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.”

“When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.”

“Men need some kind of external activity, because they are inactive within.”

“The sport of digging the bait is nearly equal to that of catching the fish, when one's appetite is not too keen.”
