Marilyn Monroe's Quotes


It's sad how sometimes inspite of having the world, you are still left alone... Marilyn Monroe's writing has always attracted me... like said some lessons are only learnt the hard way.. some of the quotes that I have liked!!
  • “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” 
  • “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
  • “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
  • “A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”
  • “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.”
  • “The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”
  • “This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
  • “When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.”
  • “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”
  • “I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.
  • “She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know ”
  • “I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!”
  • “I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”
  • “Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together”
  • “If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through, what am I supposed to do, look intelligent?”
  • “Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.”
  • “I'm pretty, but I'm not beautiful. 
  • I'm sin, but I'm not the devil.
  • I'm good, but I'm not an angel.
  • I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.” 
  • “All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same.”
  • “Friendship is the bestiest thing that comes to life . Friends will always be there for you don't worry about the fakes worry about the people who had your back from the start and never treated you wrong always remember they are your real friends don't never take them as granted because one day your going to lose a good friend by the way your action's are when you see a good friend stick to that person .” 
  • “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” 
  • “I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.” 
  • “This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.” 
  • “How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.” 
  • “Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside".” 
  • “Too often they don't realize what they have until it's gone. 
  • ...they're too stubborn to say, 'Sorry, I was wrong' 
  • they hurt the ones closest to their hearts, 
  • and we let the most foolish things tear us apart” 
  • “Just because you fall once, doesn't mean you're fall at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??” 
  • “Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to show you're a lady” 
  • “That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.”
  • “When you're young and healthy you can plan on Monday to commit suicide, and by Wednesday you're laughing again.” 
  • “I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.”

Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have And Should Know

In 1997, Glamour magazine published a story titled "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30." The list, written by Pamela Redmond Satran, was so popular that women started emailing it around, misattributing it to various female luminaries including Maya Angelou and Hillary Clinton. 

Noting what a phenomenon it had become, the editors of Glamour created a book around it, featuring essays from (mostly) famous women on each of the items on the list. Because the list still makes us so, so happy, it's here: (My Check List and may be more)

By 30, you should have ...

1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come. (Check)
2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. (Need to own one)
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. (Check)
4. A purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying. (Check)

9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded. (Check)
10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry. (Check)
11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra. (Check)
12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it. (Check)
13. The belief that you deserve it. (Check)
14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine, and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30. (Hopefully Soon)
15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship, and all those other facets of life that do get better. (Partially)

By 30, you should know ...

1. How to fall in love without losing yourself. (Not sure)
2. How you feel about having kids. (Check)
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship. (Check) 
4. When to try harder and when to walk away. (Not sure)
5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next. (Waiting for it to happen)
6. The names of the secretary of state, your great-grandmothers, and the best tailor in town. (Not sure)
7. How to live alone, even if you don’t like to. (Check)
8. Where to go -- be it your best friend’s kitchen table or a yoga mat -- when your soul needs soothing. (Check)
9. That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips, or the nature of your parents. (Check)
10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over. (Check)
11. What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love. (Check)
12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or not flossing for very long. (Check)

14. Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault. (Working on it)
15. Why they say life begins at 30. (Waiting for it to happen)

What's on your personal list of things to have and know -- and possibly do -- before turning 30?

Being an “Open Book”


Swi and I, somehow from a normal casual conversation land up at a point that we start arguing/debating on some or the other thing out of random.

Lately a lot of people around  me have been using this phrase “I’m an open book” recklessly.

Is being honest, speaking heart felt and being an open book one and the same???
If I had to answer... no its not!

For me, telling someone that you are an open book means you are saying that there is no more specific further details other that what some/many people already know... It’s not an answer when you are asked to be honest...

I don’t know if this is philosophy or psych... but its my perception... a book is a writer’s creation... the writer who had the control and choice what to write and what not to write... its can be real, fantasy or fiction... All I want to emphasize is the fact that the writer has the CONTROL and CHOICE of what he wants to share in public/open.... would you call that to be HONEST???

And the worst part is, most of the times this is used as an answer; when it comes to questions related to relationships.

I don’t want to write a long post but for some smart souls who want me to give an example:

ABC: We were together for 3 years and everyone knows no matter how much ever we tried we always land up fighting and hurting one another
ME: It still bothers you even today. You have to move on...
ABC: I have moved on... I am an open book!

The so called “Open Book” part of the story would not include what ABC went through emotionally, internally at that point of time and today.... they are feelings that no words can express and explain and I am sure no one can put them in words, they are only felt....

All that people knew was that they were together and the relationship did not work and ways were parted and it was a hurting experience!

In the end, to me if you use the phrase "I'm an open book" when I ask you an open ended question... Either good or bad, there is way lot more to be known beyond what everyone else or most of them know related to the question!!!
