John Lennon

So I was beating the shit out of him, and hitting him with a big stick, too, and it was the first time I thought, 'I can kill this guy.' I just saw it, like on a screen—that if I hit him once more, that was going to be it.

I don't believe in magic ... I don't believe in Jesus ... I don't believe in Buddha ... I don't believe in Elvis ... I don't believe in Beatles.

Having played with other musicians, I don't think the Beatles were that good.

I'd join a band with John Lennon any day, but I couldn't join a band with Paul. That's not personal, but from a musical point of view.

The only hope for us is peace. Violence begets violence. You can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.
