More from John Lennon
"I'm a working-class hero."
"I used to be cruel to my woman. I beat her and kept her from the things that she loved. Man, I was mean, but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can."
"I don't like to be told what to do. I like to do what I want to do."
"Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty."
"When you do something beautiful and nobody notices, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps."
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.
