Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
From 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.
I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.
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.
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.
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.
God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.
I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.
I have a different way of thinking. I think synergistically. I'm not linear in thinking, I'm not very logical.
