North Monroe

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or monroe:

“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)

“First, I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll convince myself that I’m an actress.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
