Tracy's Favorite Quote

MyHotComments.com

"At times, I may be selfish, out of control and hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell
don't deserve me at my best."
-Marilyn Monroe

June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962
Born Norma Jean Mortenson, Marilyn was a Golden Globe award winning American actress, model, Hollywood icon and sex symbol. She was known for her comedic skills and screen presence. Monroe became one of the most popular movie stars of the 1950s and early 1960s. During the later stages of her career, she worked towards serious roles and her fame surpassed that of any other entertainer of her time.Her premature death was classified as a "probable suicide." Many individuals believe that she was murdered. She is the only woman on the Forbes top earning dead celebrities list.

I chose this quote because I feel that it describes every relationship, whether it be with a boyfriend, best friend, etc. It is so easy for people to only consider themselves to be in a good relationship when things are going smoothly. To me, what defines a relationship is to still be able to love one another through the good but especially the bad.

All different types of relationships have their ups and downs, and I believe that you must work just as hard on the good days as the bad. A relationship most would say is 50/50, but I believe that it should be 100/100. Very good quote something to definetly go by when a realtionship.

Very well chosen and interpreted. As somebody who knows firsthand that "for better or for worse" is not just a hypothetical and pretty thing to say, I have to say I agree whole-heartedly. While there are certainly times that the bad outweighs the good, to the point that it is in the best interest of both involved to part ways, far too many people turn their backs or run at the first sign of trouble.

What a great quote! The truth rings true in this one. If you begin a relationship with a person, you really need be in it for better or for worse. This describes it so well.
