About this Quote

Marilyn Monroe's quote talks to the concept that popularity and success are not attained in a vacuum. It implies that individuals around her, her fans, her peers, and the general public at large, have all contributed to her success and her status as a star. It is a pointer that no one can accomplish greatness alone, which the support of others is essential to accomplishing success. It likewise talks to the concept that fame is short lived, which it is the people who sustain it. Without individuals, there would be no star. Monroe's quote is a reminder that success is not just about private achievement, but also about the cumulative effort of those around us. It is a reminder that we should be grateful for the assistance of others, which we should strive to return to those who have actually helped us along the way.
