John Lennon: “..something wrong with me, I thought”
“There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn’t see. I thought I was crazy or an egomaniac for claiming to see things other people didn’t see. As a child I would say, ‘but this is going on!’ and everybody would look at me as if I was crazy.”
John Lennon, Teaching Gifted Children, July/August 1981

“You’re just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You’ve got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It’s all down to you, mate.” [from brainyquote.com]
