These Marilyn Monroe quotes are fascinating. They seem to be saying to me that Marilyn like everyone else had issues that she was dealing with. I am not sure she had a positive view of herself even though the public thought she was beautiful and a sex symbol.

She was born on June 1, 1926. Her real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson. Most of her early years she spent in foster homes.

I believe you will find these Marilyn Monroe quotes to be eye-opening.
