More From John Lennon

Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness. the symbol of art is seen again in the magic flute of the great god pan which makes the young goats frisk at the edge of the grove. all modern art begins to appear comprehensible and in a way great when it is interpreted as an attempt to instill youthfulness into an ancient world.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Have you ever longed for someone so much, so deeply that you thought you would die? that your heart would just stop beating? i am longing now, but for whom i don't know. my whole body craves to be held. i am desperate to love and be loved. i want my mind to float into another's. i want to be set free from despair by the love i feel for another. i want to be physically part of someone else. i want to be joined. i want to be open and free to explore every part of them, as though i were exploring myself.
