Marilyn Monroe, with her charming candor, is said to have once said to Einstein,
“We could have a baby together. He would come out beautiful like me and smart like you”.
To which, the father of relativity, would have replied:
“Well, I think he would come out faster with my beauty and your intelligence.”
Then it was not yet known (the tests were done later), that Marilyn Monroe’s IQ was 165, five points above that of “the greatest genius of all time”.
Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Baker, 1926-1962) was a great reader. He had a library in his house with about a thousand books and spent many hours reading literary works, poetry, theater, philosophy. Her spirit, in addition to a great desire to live, had an immense curiosity and an unbridled hunger for knowledge.
These are some of the wonderful quotes of this incredible woman:
“One of the best things that happened to me is that I am a woman. All women should feel that way.” “Dogs don’t bite. People do.”
“I don’t feel like spring. I feel like a hot red autumn.”
“Laugh when you’re sad. Crying is too easy.”
“No one told me I was beautiful when I was a child. All children should be told they’re beautiful, even if they’re not.”
“It’s better to be alone than miserable with someone.”
“Imperfection is beauty and madness is genius. It’s better to be ridiculous than to be boring.”
“Disappointments make you open your eyes and close your heart.”
“I’m a little girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”
“I’ve never left someone I believed in.”
“I have never cheated anyone. Sometimes I let men make their own mistakes.”
