Ive always loved this quote, by Marilyn Monroe. The full version is...

* "I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m 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."

Here are more of my favorites by her...

* "If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere."

* "I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it."

* "I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot."

* "I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress."

* "Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer."

* "A career is wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it on a cold night."

* "It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."

* "I restore myself when I'm alone."

* "It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone."

* "I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted. You see, I was brought up differently from the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy."

* "I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful."

* "Dogs never bite me. Just humans."

* "A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing."
 
"Love everybody, trust no one"

"it's easier to hold onto false hope than to actually be faced with the reality of the situation"
