Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.

I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.

The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Don't hate what you don't understand!
