"We were all on this ship in the '60s, a yellow submarine, and it was a wonderful trip. Then the ship started to sink."
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
"The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority."
"I always was a freak, you know. I was a freak since I was a child. I'm a freak now. I like being a freak. I don't care if I'm a freak."
"I'm just a human being who's trying to make a living and trying to make some sense of this crazy world."
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.
