37 Marilyn Manson Quotes Just For You
He was born Brian Hugh Warner in January 1969. He is where the controversy emanates from. How is he a Marilyn Manson? That is what Brian Hugh Warner calls himself and his band. The name is a combination of two opposite figures in history. On the one hand, Marylin Monroe is one of the biggest names to ever come out of Hollywood and her influence as a sex appealing goddess still remains strong in the consciousness of many more than six decades since her popularity peaked. On the other hand, Charles Manson is a hated figure who was responsible for many high profile murders including the murder of Sheron Tate. Why choose these extreme combinations, because that is the kind of man Marilyn Manson has become. No one knows what runs in his mind, but whatever it is, it runs deep. “Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.” So don’t beat it. Many regarded Manson as a bad influence even and mostly during his peak moments, in the 1990s. But we do not see him as such. Mostly because no one is totally a bad influence or totally a good influence. It is about seeing them from the right perspective and that is what we intend to do here. Manson himself said: “I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.” We dug deep and found some Marilyn Manson quotes for you. To inspire you, educate you and do whatever the heck they would do.
