Only parts of us will ever touch parts of others — one’s own truth is just that really — one’s own truth.

Marilyn was a sensitive, misunderstood person, much more perceptive than was generally assumed. She had been beaten down, but had a strong emotional intelligence — a keen intuition for the feelings of others, the most refined type of intelligence (Marlon Brando on Marilyn Monroe)

I’m learning to live in all kinds of directions. I’m beginning to look at things—you know? Really look. To find the real, inside center of me, and then to look out at the world in a new way. People…things. It makes you more tolerant to look. Tolerance is one of the most important things in the world—you know? I’m learning so much. I’m, well, doing and thinking different things. For instance, I’m not afraid to be afraid anymore.

"Her quality when photographed is almost of a supernatural beauty. She had a luminous quality. A combination of wistfulness, radiance, and yearning that set her apart and made everyone wish to be part of it - to share in the childish naivete which was at once so shy and yet so vibrant." - Lee Strasberg
