"So how do you communicate to a whole group of people? You stand up and take the worst fear symbol [swastika] and say "There, now Ive got your fear. Now Ive got your fear." And your fear is your power and your power is your control. Im your king of this whole planet. Im gonna rule this whole world."
Charles Manson"Nobody. Im nobody. Im a tramp, a bum, a hobo. Im a boxcar and a jug of wine. And a straight razor if you get too close to me."
Charles Manson"Progress? Theres no such thing as progress. Theres only change. You dig a hole in the ground, you build up a city, and you fight a war, and you call it progress?"
Charles Manson"Were all our own prisons, we are each all our own wardens and we do our own time. I cant judge anyone else. What other people do is not really my affair unless they approach me with it. Prisons in your mind. Cant you see Im free?"
Charles Manson"Rubin, I am not of your world. Ive spent all my life in prison. When I was a child, I was an orphan and too ugly to be adopted. Now I am too beautiful to be set free."
Charles Manson"If I wanted to kill somebody, Id take this book and beat you to death with it, and I wouldnt feel a thing."
