More From John Lennon

Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation... a way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.
School Order Way
This is an important distinction, because most of the modern philosophies that deny that we can know reality, and ultimately truth, make the mistake of constructing epistemological systems to explain how we know reality without first acknowledging the fact that we do know reality. after they begin within the mind and find they can't construct a bridge to reality, they then declare that we can't know reality. it is like drawing a faulty road map before looking at the roads, then declaring that we can't know how to get from chicago to new york!

I wasn't involved in anything. i wasn't out - you know, i know i wasn't in act up. i wasn't with larry kramer. i wasn't by his side. i wasn't saying what i should do, because, by all accounts, i was a drug addict and an alcoholic. and i was living in a complete bubble of self-absorption.

Many memory techniques involve creating unforgettable imagery, in your minds eye. thats an act of imagination. creating really weird imagery really quickly was the most fun part of my training to compete in the u.s. memory competition.

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.

I wasn't attractive, i wasn't very verbal, i wasn't very smart in school. i wasn't anything that showed the world i was something special, but i had this tremendous hope all the time. i had this tremendous spirit that kept me going... i was a happy child, because i had this feeling that i was going to go beyond my body physical... i just knew it.

The great society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. it is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community. it is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.

Women age early, and their mistake is not knowing where to hide all the time that lies behind them so that no one sees it. what are they to do, devour it like the umbilical cords of their children? hell and damnation!

A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.

The people of ankh-morpork had a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to entertainment, and while they were looking forward to seeing a dragon slain, they'd be happy to settle instead for seeing someone being baked alive in his own armour. you didn't get the chance every day to see someone baked alive in their own armour. it would be something for the children to remember.
