John Lennon Quotes?

HauserPlenty:
I used to think, why on earth would he put chocolate cake in a bag...wouldn't it be easier to eat it off a plate? "I just hope we go alright..."
I just realized after years of listening to that song as well, that John may have been referring to eating cake "inside" a bag as in "bagism" and not "out of a bag" as it may sound.

I am really understanding this quote now: "The more real you get the more unreal the world gets." ? John Lennon
-
I always assumed that eating chocolate cake in a bag was literally sitting in a bag while eating, from the Vienna press conference during the bagism thing. Made a lightning trip to Vienna Eating chocolate cake in a bag The newspapers said She's gone to his head They look just like two gurus in drag

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe. -John Lennon That's about as good as it gets in terms of songwriting. Would love to know how he came up with this lyric. What was John's secret with respect to writing classics?

Woman (For the other half of the sky) Woman I can hardly express, My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness, After all I'm forever in your debt, And woman I will try express, My inner feelings and thankfullness, For showing me the meaning of succsess, oooh well, well, oooh well, well, Woman I know you understand The little child inside the man, Please remember my life is in your hands, And woman hold me close to your heart, However, distant don't keep us apart, After all it is written in the stars, oooh well, well, oooh well, well, Woman please let me explain, I never mean(t) to cause you sorrow or pain, So let me tell you again and again and again, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah).... * Nuit, Nuith, Nut, Nu * - "the other half of the sky" http://www.beatlesbible.com/people/john-lennon/songs/woman/

Something I read quite by accident the other day on Yoko Ono Lennon's facebook: "Understand, Love, Forgive and Embrace." It really resonated with me. Peace and Love!

John said something one time concerning the profundity of his life like... He would have "rather been a fisherman" Has anyone else heard of this?
-
^^ I never heard that one Steve. I can see John doing it though, in my mind. If you find more post it please. P.S. Could you dig fishing with John? Bet that would be fun...

"One of my big things is that I wish to be a fisherman. I know it sounds silly?and I?d sooner be rich than poor, and all the rest of that shit?but I wish the pain was ignorance or bliss or something. If you don?t know, man, then there?s no pain; that?s how I express it." ~ //oo\\ Yes...this is the one I remember! I had that issue as I recall! Thanks, (((Kittay)))! Yes...I can relate as well!

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

Exactly!!! John was one of the greatest of God's (Love's) prophets who ever lived. You brought my attention back to the Instant Karma link I had posted above. I like the viewer comment below the video from one week ago... "For younger people, blast this song as loud as you can and also try to understand the words" John's Truth saturated influence on the human race has only begun! Instant Karma

^^ Amen Brother Steve.? That song means even more to me today than it ever did. "what on earth are you thinking of, laughing in the face of love?" An amazing song and unforgettable man/ soul.??

Instant Karma is my favorite John solo song!
