Marilyn Monroe Quotes About Childhood

Quotes about: Childhood

• Everyones childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand.

  Marilyn Monroe

  Play, Childhood, Wonder

• Everyone’s childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand. By this I don’t know if I’m just giving up with this conclusion or resigning myself — or maybe for the first time connecting with reality. How do we know the pain or another’s earlier years, let alone all that he drags with him since along the way at best a lot of leeway is needed for the other — yet how much is unhealthy for one to bear. I think to love bravely is the best and accept — as much as one can bear.

  Marilyn's personal diaries (1958), as quoted in "Fragments" by Stanley Buchthal and Bernard Comment, 2010.

• Hollywood parties not only confuse me, but they often disillusion me. The disillusion comes when I meet a movie star I’ve been admiring since childhood. I always thought that movie stars were exciting and talented people full of special personality. Meeting one of them at a party I discover usually that he (or she) is colorless and even frightened. I’ve often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people.
