Quotes by Marilyn Manson
-
Light a candle for the sinners set the world on fire
Read quote -
Like LaVey, I had a also discovered what happens when you say something powerful that makes people think. They become afraid of you, and they neutralize your message by giving you a label that is not open to interpretation-- as a fascist, a devil worshipper or an advocate of rape and violence.
Read quote -
The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.
Read quote -
When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
Read quote -
My grandfather had been the ugliest, darkest, foulest, most depraved figure of my childhood, more beast than human, and I had grown up to be him, locked in the basement with my secrets as the rest of the family reveled in the petty and ordinary upstairs. Down there, I saw my black, ancient, ineluctable core exposed, like a crab forced out of its shell--dirty, vulnerable, and obscene. For the first time in my life, I was truly alone.
Read quote -
The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.
Read quote -
I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.
Read quote -
But through years of myth-making and fear-sowing, Christianity meta-morphosed antichrists into a single Antichrist, an apocalyptic villain and Christian bogeyman used to scare people as much as Santa Claus is used to regulate children's behavior. After years of studying the concept, I began to realize the Antichrist is a character--a metaphor--who exists in nearly all religions under different names, and maybe there is some truth in it, a need for such a person. But from another perspective, this person could be seen as not a villain but a final hero to save people from their own ignorance. The apocalypse doesn't have to be fire and a brimstone. It could happen on a personal level.

Find what you are afraid of, face it, and then you won't be afraid of it anymore.
Read quote -
I remember growing up, saying you're an artist it sounds pretentious but now it's one of the only dignified things that you can call yourself.
