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.

More quotes by 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 will not say sorry and be pardoned for doing a godly act.
Imelda Marcos
I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.
Imelda Marcos
The problems with First Ladies is that you have to set the standard. My role is to be both star and slave.
Imelda Marcos
My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.
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
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
I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.
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
It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.
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
I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
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.
Imelda Marcos
They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.
Imelda Marcos
I am beyond logic and rationality.
Imelda Marcos
You know, not even your British Queen is called just Elizabeth - she's Elizabeth the Second. There's only one Imelda.
Imelda Marcos
I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility.
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
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
