The Philippines is a terrible name, coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition, who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didnt change the name of our country. – Imelda Marcos
People say Im extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage? – Imelda Marcos

When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers. – Imelda Marcos
