Funny, I never shopped. Even my jewelry - not a piece of my jewelry I bought for me.

I did NOT have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

It's the flock, the grove, that matters. Our responsibility is to species, not to specimens; to communities, not to individuals.

Everyone needs to get more comfortable with female leaders-including female leaders themselves.
