It’s safe to say that Marilyn Monroe was before her time. She was born in 1926, but many of the words she spoke back in her heyday in the ’50s and ’60s still ring true today.

On knowing your worth
Imperfection is beauty
On womanhood
On going for it
On being a woman in a man’s world
Keep your head high
On beauty
On fate
On independence
Society is ugly
On rule-breaking
We deserve to twinkle
On the right shoes
