"Father, you left me, but I never..." - Quote by John Lennon

“The first thing we did was to proclaim our Liverpoolness to the world, and say 'It's all right to come from Liverpool and talk like this'. Before, anybody from Liverpool who made it, like Ted Ray, Tommy Handley, Arthur Askey, had to lose their accent to get on the BBC.”

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

“There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.”

“After my marriage she edited everything I wrote. And what is more, she not only edited my works, she edited me.”

“A sick child is always the mother's property; her own feelings generally make it so.”

“Jealousy is nothing more than a fear of abandonment”

“It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me.”

“Mother, you had me, but I never had you.”
