"In Baby You're A Rich Man the..." - Quote by John Lennon

“We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.”

“I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.”

“From our earliest days in Liverpool, George and I on the one hand and Paul on the other had different musical tastes. Paul preferred 'pop type' music and we preferred what is now called 'underground'. This may have led to arguments, particularly between Paul and George, but the contrast in tastes, I'm sure, did more good than harm, musically speaking, and contributed to our success.”

“I have not observed mens honesty to increase with their riches.”

“I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born?”

“Avarice and Happiness never saw each other, how then should they become acquainted?”

“If you would feel the full force of a tempest, take up your residence on the top of Mount Washington, or at the Highland Light, inTruro.”

“We can't find the truth listening to our own voice's echo. We can find ourselves only in someone's mirror”

“I do not resent criticism, even when for the sake of emphasis; it parts for the time with reality.”
