More quotes by Imelda Marcos
They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.
Imelda Marcos
They've listed my name in the dictionary - 'Imeldific' is used to mean ostentatious extravagance... But the truth will prevail.
Imelda Marcos
I would have to ask the public to choose between a culture of hate or a culture of love. I am sure our poor will pick the latter. With the Marcos assets, we could regain this value of sharing love with one another.
Imelda Marcos
More than life, I value vindication. When you are at peace with the truth and you know that you are on the side of the right and God is on your side, you are not afraid of anything, including jail.
Imelda Marcos
I get my fingers in all our pies. Before you know it, your little fingers including all your toes are in all the pies.

The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.
Imelda Marcos
I have no weakness for shoes. I wear very simple shoes which are pump shoes. It is not one of my weaknesses.
Imelda Marcos
I am beyond logic and rationality.
Imelda Marcos
I have a different way of thinking. I think synergistically. I'm not linear in thinking, I'm not very logical.
Imelda Marcos
I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable.
Imelda Marcos
President Marcos was investing in precious metals long before he entered politics.
Imelda Marcos
The Reagans were dear friends for many years, even when he was governor of California. Nancy appreciated a lot of Philippine-made things.
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
What's wrong with shoes? I collected them because it was like a symbol of thanksgiving and love?
Imelda Marcos
It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.
Imelda Marcos
