More quotes by Imelda Marcos
Why should people be afraid that we use a few small pellets of uranium at the nuclear power plant in Bataan? Don't they know that we're surrounded by uranium? We have the world's fourth largest deposits of uranium. Yes, we're all radioactive -- must be the reason why we have so many faith healers!
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
Win or lose, we go shopping after the election.
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
I am beyond logic and rationality.
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
It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.
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
God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.
Imelda Marcos
I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.
Imelda Marcos
If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
Imelda Marcos
The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.
Imelda Marcos
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
Imelda Marcos
Continuous persecution of widows and orphans is a crime. Even the Bible says there is a specific place in hell for those who oppress widows.
Imelda Marcos
It is terribly important to do certain things, such as wear overembroidered dresses. After all, the mass follows class. Class never follows mass.
Imelda Marcos
I am First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am.
Imelda Marcos
When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.
Imelda Marcos
I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
Imelda Marcos
I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.
Imelda Marcos
Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
