Fragments - Marilyn Monroe

Anna Mizrahi, ex-mulher de Lee Strasberg, antigo professor de interpretação de Marilyn Monroe, publicou  alguns diários e poemas da diva, nascendo assim o livro Fragments.


Desde que lançaram eu queria comprar.
Daí meu irmão e minha cunhada estavam passeando por Paris e compraram pra mim.
Então estou lendo o livro, mas como está escrito em francês e inglês eu demoro um pouco mais (lendo a parte em francês com tradutor online hahaha).
É interessante, e pra quem só tem aquela imagem de sexy symbol da Marilyn, eu indico a leitura.
(Aliás, também tem a biografia A deusa - As vidas secretas de Marilyn Monroe, do Anthony Summers que é uma das melhores biografias dela).

Vou compartilhar com vocês algumas imagens e anotações/poemas do livro.



"I can't really stand Human
Beings sometimes - I know
they all have their problems
as I have mine - but I'm really
too tired for it. Trying to understand,
making allowances, seeing certain things
that just weary me."


"Alone !!!!
I am alone - I am always
alone
no matter what"
"For Kris
Sept. 9

—Remember, somehow, how—
Mother always tried to
get me to "go out" as
though she felt I
were too unadventurous.
She wanted me even
to show a cruelty
toward woman. This
in my teens. In return,
I showed her that I
was faithful to her."




"feel what I feel
within myself - that is trying to
become aware of it
also what I feel in others
not being ashamed of my
feeling, thoughts - or ideas"




"Not a scared
lonely little girl
anymore"




"Dear Lee,

One of the most personally helpful
things I've heard so far in my
life was what you said in
class friday afternoon - it was helpful
2 and 2 don't necessarily make 4."




" I saw a lot of lonely young
sailors who/they looked too
young to be so sad.
They reminded me of
young slender trees still
growing & painful"




"I am so concerned
about protecting Arthur
I love him—and he is the
only person—human being I have
ever known that I could love not only
as a man to which I am attracted to
practically
out of my senses about—but he [is] the only
person … that I trust as
much as myself—because when I do trust my-
self (about certain things) I do fully"





"Help help
Help
I feel life coming closer
when all I want
Is to die.

Scream—
You began and ended in air
but where was the middle?"
