Marilyn Manson Quotes

Individuality

A lot of people don't want to make their own decisions. They're too scared. it's much easier to be told what to do. Americans talk so much about being individualistic, but they don't want you to be an individual, because if you think for yourself, then you're not going to be a part of any trend that they want you to be a part of. They don't want you to think for yourself. They tell you they do so that you're happy and you're stupid and you're sheep. Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed. These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way. The rest of the world, who are just willing to accept it, are gonna be doing their everyday jobs, and they're going to be trapped in a rut, and they're never going to see it until the day they die, and they're going to be disappointed when they don't go to heaven anyways 'cause they're too stupid to realize that it's not going to happen.
