When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn't want to drown anymore. - Marilyn Manson

… I don't expect everyone to get something deep out of it. Some people can just listen to the music, or get their aggressions out, but I think with any great painting or movie, album or whatever it is, it's better if people can take what they need from it. That they're not forced to get some particular message.

In a society where you are taught to love everything, what value does that place on love?

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.
