"Ritual is important. The wedding ceremony is a ritual that is very important. It's a statement."
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
"The thing is, I'm a Scorpio. Scorpios are very passionate, intense, and very loyal. They're also very vindictive. I don't know if you know any Scorpios, but if you do, you'll know what I mean."
"I'm not going to change the world. I'm just going to change me."
"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."
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.
