Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
Marilyn MonroeMy travels have always been of the same kind. No matter where I've gone or why I've gone there it ends up that I never see anything. Becoming a movie star is living on a merry-go-round. When you travel you take the merry-go-round with you. You don't see natives or new scenery. You see chiefly the same press agents, the same sort of interviewers, and the same picture layouts of yourself.

Marilyn MonroeEveryoneโs childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand. By this I donโt know if Iโm just giving up with this conclusion or resigning myself โ or maybe for the first time connecting with reality. How do we know the pain or anotherโs 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 โ yet how much is unhealthy for one to bear. I think to love bravely is the best and accept โ as much as one can bear.
