Imagine what an empire this woman could have built for herself if she hadn’t been psychologically cannibalized by the men who ran Hollywood 50 years ago.
I wonder what she would say about the world today… What was taboo in her time is now on prime time and we have come a long way in some areas (not so much in others).
As a 29 year old male, I have to say, it’s unfortunate. SO much more beautiful than the sex symbols of today. All real, all natural, unafraid to be who she was. The original sex symbol, and there was still so much more to her beyond her raw physical appeal.
Some nice thoughts behind the quotes, but honestly this woman was nothing to idealize. And these quotes are used by every other unoriginal asshole who thinks it ‘speaks’ for them.
She had sex with numerous married men, changed her name, and dyed her hair to be more popular. Isn’t that what we criticize artists for doing today? Sacrificing their dignity for more attention?
And she wasn’t some ‘size 16′ – She was a size 8. She had big tits, and a big ass. That means she was lucky, not overweight.
And that song Elton John wrote for her sucked. Get out.
So glad i discovered this website via stumbleupon,, Some great pictures here and some even better words !! love it look forward to the next..thankyou from mr plumber rochdale
Feminism is not about dominance but about equality.
How stupid does that sound? I am woman who wants my children one day to dominate over men; what if MLK said one day he hoped for his black children to look down on white children?
No, sorry. Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful woman, a great actress, but no philosopher. Women who seek to be equal with men are wonderful and ambitious.
Marilyn Monroe, is so right about many things… She had a lot of wisdom, even though she says that she’s insecure sometimes, I can’t understand the reason behind that, but what I noticed is that a lot of beautiful women have that in them, and actually, that makes them more down to earth and always aiming to improve themselves… by the way, did you know that her real name is NORMA JEANE MORTENSON …

I couldn’t agree more! Her story is tragic (and she was seriously underpaid to boot)
Not just a pretty face!

She wasn’t exactly “all natural” she admittedly had plastic surgery. People always want to forget that part…

AGREED!
the first one is soo overused, still good though… the last two are my favorite :)
Everyone see’s her as this “Model” but to my eyes, I see something so much far greater.
The first Marilyn Monroe quote is the best!
Uh, wasn’t she pretty much famous for selling her body, and being with famous men?
She is the 1950s version of Paris Hilton.
There are better women to idolize I think for instance Harriet Tubman or Ayn Rand.
Sorry if my opinion offends.
The woman had style and much more…hope she realized it.
Awesome quotes. Marilyn Monroe has so many memorable quotes. The third picture is so beautiful. She had such a bright smile.
