"You'd never wholly know you." Marilyn Monroe

“I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.”
Marilyn Monroe

    1. I really like how she puts it, that being old is an integral part of you and that otherwise you would never know you.
      Many thanks, Macy!!
