Imelda Marcos
My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.
Imelda Marcos

Imelda Marcos
If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
Imelda Marcos
What's wrong with shoes? I collected them because it was like a symbol of thanksgiving and love?
Imelda Marcos
I am beyond logic and rationality.
Imelda Marcos
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
Imelda Marcos
Perception is real, truth is not. I'm not fighting for money and possessions. I'm fighting for something more precious. I pray that as we enter the cyber age -- the Age of Transparency -- the facts and the truth will out.
Imelda Marcos
