The game is coming to an end, and you laugh and talk among your friends,
for me there is no romancing, no beginning again,
'cause I'll never stop remembering my forgotten dream, forgotten dream.
Charles Manson
'Now Is The Time'
1960's
...Everyone says crazy fool, your always gazing at the night, with my arms around a tree, loving life with all my might...
Charles Manson
‘my world’
1960’s
When I was a deer in the forest, I saw a man as God, and thats your rightful order. I came to you with all the love in my heart, for I was for you, and you slaughtered me.
Charles Manson
1968
...Everything has been here for you, it’s all been at your hand, but don’t try to build a new world, just learn to live on the land...
Charles Manson
‘Give Your Love To Be Free’
1968
...Stop killing all of the wildlife, everyone let your kids go free, just open you eyes Mister, you can see that you can see...
...Soon we’ll move California, an earthquake will surely come, Valley of Death and you’ll find us, their ain’t nowhere else to run...
Charles Manson
‘The Young Will Overcome’
1969
as fast as man can go he is destroying everything he can destroy. The pace that he has picked up in sawing the trees down, killing the animals and shooting everything...You know, there's one thing I flashed on the other day: a police man took me over, and on his helmet, you know, right on his forehead, there's a beast, a bear, a bear beast on his forehead. And I say 'Well, can't the people see the mark of the beast? it's not a hard thing to see.
Charles Manson
Tuesday's Child
1970
Have you ever seen the coyote in the desert? Watching, tuned in, completely aware. Christ on the cross, the coyote in the desert--it's the same thing man. The coyote is beautiful. he moves through the desert delicately, aware of everything, looking around. He hears every sound, smells every smell, sees everything that moves. He's always in a state of total paranoia, and total paranoia is total awareness. You can learn from the coyote just like you can learn from a child. A baby is born into the world in a state of fear. Total paranoia and awareness. He sees the world with eyes not used yet. As he grows up, his parents lay all this stuff on him. They tell him, when they should be letting him tell them. Let little children lead you.
Charles Manson
Rolling Stone
1970
If I had a desire, it would be to be free from desire. I would go out into the desert. The desert is magic. I love the desert, it is my home. Nobody ever wanted me and nobody wants the desert. The stone that the builders rejected, do you remember that story?
I'll live in the desert, like a coyote. I know where every waterhole is, and every berry and fruit that's edible. They will come after me in the desert and they will die. The desert is God's kingdom.
Charles Manson
Rolling Stone
1970
...Start yourself a nice garden, for times will be trying sooner than you can think it. Yes love, I am greatly blessed. Also I want to tell you, when you pray to yourself, there is only one. One is all and all is one. Peace is inside and your love is now. Now look to life and the children are God. Why write on paper what’s in the heart? Just look around you and know I am everywhere and you are everywhere and love is all as I know you are only a reflection of the love you have.
Charles Manson

''the fields they are a' golden, the cycle will complete
in order to harvest the grain, you have to cut the wheat''
Charles Manson
'Get On Home'
1969
Every morning you eat that meat with your teeth. You're all killers, you kill things better than you. And what can I say to you that you don't already know?
Charles Manson
Testimony
I knew a guy that used to work in the stockyards and he used to kill cows all day long with a big sledgehammer, and then go home at night and eat dinner with his children and eat the meat that he slaughtered. Then he would go to church and read the bible, and he would say, "That is not killing." And I look at him and I say, "That doesn't make any sense, what you are talking about?" Then I look at the beast, and I say, "Who is the beast?"
I am the beast.
I am the beast.
I am the biggest beast walking the face of the earth. I kill everything that moves. As a man, as a human, I take responsibility for that. As a human, it won't be long, and God will ask you to take responsibility for it. It is your creation. You live in your creation. I never created your world, you created it.
Charles Manson
Testimony
Where does the garbage go? as we have tin cans and garbage alongside the road, and oil slicks in your water, so you have people, and I am one of your garbage people.
Charles Manson
Testimony
Restless people, from the sick city
Burnt their homes down to make the sky look pretty
What can I do, I'm just a person
Just a line that we always seem to hear
You just sit there
Things get worse watch TV and drink your beer
Walkin' all alone not goin' anywhere
Walkin' all alone nobody seem to care
Restless as the wind
This town is killin' me
Got to put an end
To this restless misery
I'm just one of those restless people
Who can never seem to be satisfied with livin'
'In this sick old sick sick sick old sick city
It may be too late for me to say goodbye
And it may be too late
To watch this sick old city die
Goin' on the road
Yeah I'm gonna try to say
Sick city so long goodbye and die
Charles Manson
;Sick City'
1967
And then we went and got out in the desert, we found a whole world out in the desert, then I got to see the animals are smarter than people, you know, like I've never been around many animals. In jail there are hardly any animals around.
Charles Manson
Tuesday's Child
1970
We saw the little animals in the desert, and we'd see the hunters come up in their jeeps, you know? and they'd be all drunk. Their awareness level would be about this high, and we'd see all the squirrels and ground squirels and chuckers and we'd say ''hide you guys, get in the holes 'cause the beasts is comin' down the road...
Clem
1970
I decided to go into the mountains to talk to God, to apologize for 1900 years of this mess. Thats when they got me and brought me here.

1970
I am calling all to bring down this tower in Babylon, where the beast keeps me in a cage in the name of justice. When we all come together in the name of One God, love and peace- each one with himself, ready to face Judgement Day for man, standing with our hearts and lives in our hands, giving all, facing ourselves for what we have done and help me stop what man is doing, the last battle is upon us. I've seen it coming for the last 10 years, only the men who will face their own destruction- look at it coming faster and faster, tune with it. Face the blood and death as the wildlife does.
Charles Manson

THE EARTH IS BEING DESTROYED FASTER THAN YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT. MY GOD, MAN, CANT YOU SEE YOUR BOTHER STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU GIVING ALL?
Brenda McCann
L.A. Free Press
1970
The only thing we're concerned about at all is our children and that there is something left for our children...for my children to see that there is something left for them...
You look in the newspaper - THE EARTH, all these articles about the Earth, 'is it going to last?'
It;s getting pretty heavy you know, there ready to put there finger on that button and blow the whole thing up, and like we see that there is something left to save for the children, even if it's just the sunset.

He is the one who will set all love free ... for it is hiding—and pushed down by those who fight wars and hunt animals, and cut down trees.
It's time for all love to stand and show itself...
Red, 1971
We live in a very magic world ... everyone does ... but not everyone knows it!
Red, 1971
Everything we're making good
Home is heaven in the wood—
& we make the best of cities
scornful faces—opinions, pities,
None of which have any matter
& we sing & let the clatter
rumble with itself.
Red, 1971
How strong are you?
Do you have a pair of good shoes, a warm coat or cape you could sleep in, a knife & a small pack? Are you ready to survive?
Red, 1971
Charlie and the girls are starting trial Monday. It's going to be a long summer with a lot of confusion, but if you're strong you'll be able to make it to the desert. If you can get a copy of Rolling Stone Magazine it has a lot of silly people's intellectual opinions and how they see themselves through us but if you weed through it you can see that some of our quotes come through.
Red, 1971
From "Jury" (1970)
If you stand for it, you are a part of it.
If you let them do it, then it shall be done to you also.
Red, 1970
We are at Barker's now, sneaked in at dusk. It feels good here all in one room, all in one circle. We're dusty brown and smoothly tough, with cactus cut hands of lizard scale and sun. The feeling is animal, of wind and rough ground under our feet, and real. We can't stay here at Barker's. There's too many of us. We are hunted. So tonight we dig.
