Marilyn Monroe wise quotes
American actress, singer, model and showgirl Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson June 1, 1926 (August 5, 1962). She became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s. In addition, she left lots of wise quotes and phrases, which became famous. I can’t but agree with the idea that talented people are talented in everything. She said about herself: “I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”

But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my bestExperts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship
