Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

I once was the walrus, now I'm John.

Come together, right now.

The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you. When the spinning stops - that'll be the time to worry. Not before.

Life's what happens when you're making other plans.

In 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' I was visualizing Alice in Wonderland, an image of this female who would come and save me - a girl with kaleidoscope eyes who would be the real love of my life. Lucy turned out to be Yoko.

Yoko [Ono] was showing me some of these Haiku in the original. The difference between them and Long fellow is immense. Instead of a long flowery poem the Haiku would say 'Yellow flower in white bowl on wooden table' which gives you the whole picture.
