People said I was a leader. Here's the kind of leader I was. I made sure toilets were clean. I made sure the animals were fed. Any sores on the horses? I'd heal them. Anything need fixing? I'd fix it. I was always the one to do everything nobody wanted to do. Cats need feeding? I'd feed them. When it was cold, I was always the last one to get a blanket.
Do you feel blame? Are you mad? Uh, do you feel like wolf kabob Roth vantage? Gefrannis booj pooch boo jujube; bear-ramage. Jigiji geeji geeja geeble Google. Begep flagaggle vaggle veditch-waggle bagga?
Each night as you sleep I destroy the world.
I didn't tie anybody up. And I was never on a scene where anyone was killed. I think the law says you can only keep me seventeen or eighteen years if I was never on a scene where anyone was killed. I was never on the crime scenes. I didn't kill nobody, I didn't tell nobody to get killed. I didn't get no trial, but we don't wanna hear that- don't wanna mix anything up with the truth.
You invented the words, and you gave me a dictionary and you said, 'These are what the words mean.' Well, this is what they mean to you, but to someone else, they have got a different dictionary.
We're all our own prisons, we are each all our own wardens and we do our own time. I can't judge anyone else. What other people do is not really my affair unless they approach me with it. Prison's in your mind. Can't you see I'm free?
I've been 15 years in the nut ward, for trying to stop the trees from being cut down, from trying to rearrange the lifestyle of a bunch of people who don't want to change. But they're gonna change because a cold wind is blowing. You're gonna change or else there's going to be no life left on the planet Earth.
Pain's not bad, it's good. It teaches you things. I understand that.
If I had a desire, it would be to be free from desire.
The Charlie Manson that you've created, that's not me. That's only an illusion in your minds, it hasn't got anything to do with me.
There's nothing wrong with being incompetent. It just means you don't have to do as much.
Total paranoia is just total awareness.
You got to realize; you're the Devil as much as you're God.
I am the man in the mirror, anything you see in me is in you, I am you, and when you can admit that you will be free. I am just a mirror.
