Author of quotes: Charles Manson

As for you, the victims of this false hype and have made me a charismatic leader of some cult, a guru, a lover, a seducer and a new Jesus, I want you to know that here in prison, I have everything and more. Cameras are my eyes. My mind is set on a number of television channels that there is so much in your world. And censorship is not allowed here. Thanks to this whole world and universe are at my disposal. So save your sympathy for someone else and know that the prison remains only my body. I walk in your streets, when I want. I am in your midst

Personally, I have long lost the desire to be part of a normal family in any capacity. I know too many people pretending to be decent fathers who batter their wives, beat their children, indulge in incest, do it with any strange whore, pay attention to them, and at the same time proudly claiming that they are family people are the pillars of respectability. Wives and mothers I think it is more reliable compared to fathers, but in General vanity, the need to look good, to be loved and receive care and affection prevails over the image of faithful wife, a sympathetic mother, and so many after husbands have Affairs on the side. Mother and father that no interference to the pleasure of deceiving their children and not allow them to know what really turns family.

I didn't forcibly tear off the person from what he wanted or fun. I didn't want to save souls, nor to corrupt anyone. I just thought that when meeting with a person who is at a crossroads, I can lend him a helping hand. He desperate a lot of shit in life, I felt that my advice could help some of these lost their life orientation of children and make them stronger.

The diversity of Manson has never been revealed to me with such clarity as in the very beginning of our cooperation. That day I brought a young woman referred to in the introduction. She wanted to interview Manson in some local Newspapers. When we arrived, Manson was already reserved for our meeting room. Or because he knew in advance that I'm going to photograph, or because interviewing him came a woman, Manson changed. His thick beard had disappeared, leaving only a smooth goatee on his chin. Manson looked very neat. He was in blue faded jeans, embellished with patches. Is it possible to pet - or-no Fromme and Sandra Goode. Even he was wearing a velour shirt in tones of grey and blue, stitched Fromm. First, Manson didn't pay the woman any attention, but showing us your photo album and explaining who was in the pictures, he turned some wizard. The woman who came with me, was under thirty. Normal - not particularly pretty and at the same time not ugly. But it was Manson a little talk with her, as she must have believed that was the most attractive woman on earth. Now ignore me, and I had a wonderful opportunity to observe the performance of Manson. I was just amazed. Talking with a woman, he was very polite, courtesy and helpfulness. His usual swearing and prison slang disappeared, and he expressed himself much more distinctly than I could to expect. I did not have time to blink as Manson was already holding the palm of the woman and stroking her brush, while she listened to his every word. Manson stood up, approached the woman from behind and began to massage her neck and shoulders. She sat with her eyes closed, smiling gratefully. Then, while continuing the conversation, he inadvertently reached out his hand across the table and took the cord from our tape recorder. Then Manson looked at me and winked. For no reason he wrapped the cord around the neck of a woman. It looked ominous. She got all Googly-eyed and gave me a pleading look. Manson lightly pulled the cord and suggestive of fear voice said: "think, Emmons, kill me with that little bitch?" The woman was horrified, and, although the wink Manson meant that all this isn't real, tightening the cord around her neck made me for a moment, worried for real. Just at the moment when I pondered the plan of salvation, Manson laughed and loosened the cord with the words: "See, bitch, now you will never want to trust strangers". I still don't know why Manson decided to intimidate a woman, but I saw with my own eyes how dramatically it can change the mood and how vigorously he may be trying to impress others or try to scare them half to death.

Went to heaven the dead who will never die.

You want me broken? Will not work! You broke me years ago. You long ago killed me.

It seems to me that the time has come when you all have to look at ourselves and condemn the lies in which you are mired. I can not feel dislike to you, but I can tell you that you have not so much time before you will start to kill each other because you are all madmen. And you can reflect, to project on me your anger, but I am only what lives inside each of you.

You eat meat and kill creatures that are better than you, and then horrified, what bad become of your own children, calling them murderers. That you made them what they are. Children that come at you with knives are your children. You taught them everything they know. I did not teach them.

They were not born rebellious, they were angry and disappointed since birth. It is in them to others. They were created by people.

I'm not looking for sympathy. I don't care about the audience. I don't care about entertainment. I'm not going to work. I don't care. It is better that you hated me because you stay away from all of this. I really don't like people. They are rotten.

I am God to my friends, and the Devil for his enemies.

Sanity is just a small box, madness - all.

If you do something, do it well... And leave a some nasty.

- Do you afraid to die?
- Sometimes I think I'm afraid to live. Life - that's what scares me. And die easily.
