Image of Marilyn Monroe

"I had a lot of respect for her as an artist and as a person. She was a beautiful girl. She had a great mind. The girl has a character. She was never fully aware of herself. The best years were ahead of her, the best years were years ahead. This is a great loss for all of us. For everyone."
- Carl Sandburg
