"I believe in God, but not as a old man in the sky. I believe in God as a power, a force, a spirit. And I believe in myself, as part of that power."
"I'm a very insecure person. I'm very insecure about my talent. I'm very insecure about my appearance. I'm very insecure about everything."
"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance."
"Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it buys you a bigger boat."
"You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles were bastards."
About John Lennon (1940-1980)
English singer-songwriter, founding Beatle, and peace activist whose 'Imagine' (1971) became a 20th-century anti-war anthem; assassinated in NYC December 8, 1980. Closely associated with Paul McCartney (Beatles songwriting partner and lifelong foil) and George Harrison (fellow Beatle). For an intellectual contrast, see Richard Nixon, 37th US President — Nixon's 1972-73 administration tried to deport Lennon for his anti-Vietnam-War activism; declassified FBI files later confirmed the political motivation behind the immigration case. The canonical example of state retaliation against a celebrity activist.
