Quotes by Charles Manson

You people would convict a grilled cheese sandwich of murder and the people wouldn’t question it.

I cant judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.

“it seems a shame to have to sneak to get to the truth.To make the truth such a dirty old nasty thing.You gotta sneak to get to the truth, the truth is condemned.The truth is in the gas chamber.The truth has been in your stockyards.Your slaughterhouses.The truth has been in your reservations, building your railroads, emtying your garbage.The truth is in your ghettos.In your jails.In your young love,not in your courts or congress where the old set judgement on the young.What the hell do the old know about the young?They put a picture of old George on the dollar and tell you that hes your father, worship him.Look at the madness that goes on, you cant prove anything that happened yesterday.Now is the only thing thats real.Everyday, every reality is a new reality.Every new reality is a new horizon,a brand new experience of living.I got a note last night from a friend of mine.He writes in this note that hes afraid of what he might have to do in order to save his reality, as i save mine.You cant prove anything.Theres nothing to prove.Every man judges himself.He knows what he is. You know what you are, as i know what i am,we all know what we are.Nobody can stand in judgement, they can play like theyre standing in judgement.They can play like they stand in judgement and take you off and control the masses, with your human body.They can lock you up in penitentiaries and cages and put you in crosses like they did in the past,but it doesnt amount to anything. What theyre doing is, theyre only persecuting a reflection of themselves. Theyre persecuting what they cant stand to look at in themselves,the truth.”
