„[The world's] not a great place anymore and it can't be. I'm sure it would have been much more enjoyable to be alive in the fifties, when there was at least an illusion of purity, and things that were taboo had such a great power to them.

Well, maybe if I manage to make the world a better place then maybe I'd want to have a kid.“
— Marilyn Manson
„There was a time when people accepted magical experiences as natural. There were no priests then, and no one went chasing after the secrets of the occult.“
