Doesn't the fight for survival also justify swindle and theft? In self defence, anything goes.

I have no weakness for shoes. I wear very simple shoes which are pump shoes. It is not one of my weaknesses.

In the material world, where everything is valued, when you commit yourself to God, beauty and love, it can be mistaken for extravagance.

It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.

I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady; I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

What's wrong with shoes? I collected them because it was like a symbol of thanksgiving and love?

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