Marilyn Monroe Fake Quotes

There are a lot of really wonderful and insightful quotes that can be factually attributed to Marilyn Monroe.  Unfortunately, there are also several quotes that have circulated for quite some time, which cannot be traced directly to Marilyn.  Below are just a few those quotes…the ones that are perhaps the most widely used (and abused):

    • “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 that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
    • “Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”
    • “Well behaved women rarely make history.”
    • “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
    • “Beneath the make up and behind the smile, I am just a girl who wishes for the world.”
    • “It’s better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not.”
    • “We are all of us stars and we deserve to twinkle.”

    • “Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world.”
    • “I’m good but I’m no angel, I sin but I’m no devil, I’m just a small girl in a big world, trying to find someone to love.”
    • “I’m selfish, impatient, and 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.”
    • “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
