查尔斯 曼森经典语录
在谴责此人之前，不妨看看他都说了些什么，为什么能迎合当时那么多人的心理？查尔斯曼森语录其中我最喜欢的一句是：Look down at me and you see a fool;look up at me and you see a god;look straight at me and you see yourself俯视我你看到你个傻逼仰视我你看到一个神平视我你看到了你自己 有些彰显个人主义、个性独立的话颇能打中现代工薪阶层的内心，放到现在也不过时，你就算说是乔布斯或是马云说的也都有人信：The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies. 牛逼的人不必向装逼的人证明。If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy. 你要是像干一件事，就好好的干。然后留点儿神秘感。Getting up every day and going through this again and again is hard.每天醒来做着同样的差事很难I'm playing for my life.

I understand that. 痛苦是好事，它能给你带来新的体验。这句话暗合佛家的“无分别心”思想：I uh, don't dislike or like 我，呃，没有什么喜欢不喜欢的事物。 有些话很温情，也反映了他那个圈子对中产女性成员的特殊魅力：If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.

With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger.我们的家族是个爱与力量的圈子。每个新生儿与每个团聚增加我们的团结。每个欢乐都给我们带来了更多的爱，每个挫折都让我们变得更强。 Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right? 没有什么可后悔的，你们这个世界的人帮了我很多。我也帮了你们。甚至是威胁与恫吓都充满了挑战强权的力量感（权力意志本身就具有神奇的卡理斯玛超凡魅力）：I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be.

I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in. 我不能评定你们当中的任何人，我对你没有恶意也不会赞美你。但我建议你好好自问下，问问你内心的谎言世界。You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy. 我告诉你，很久以前发疯是罕见的，现在的社会所有人都是疯子。 Believe me, if I started murdering You eat meat and you kill things that are better than you are, and then you say how bad, and even killers, your children are.

I just tried to help them stand up.那些孩子拿着刀来找我，他们是你们的子女。是你们教育了这些孩子，不是我。我仅仅是帮他们站起来。（曼森有众多的“家人”）My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you. 我的父亲是监狱，他是你的身体。。。我是你创造的。我是你的影子。
