Lennon Stupid Quotes

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine. . . . I always wondered, ``Why has nobody discovered me?'' In school, didn't they see that I'm cleverer than anybody in this school? That the teachers are stupid, too? That all they had was information that I didn't need? I got fuckin' lost in being at high school. I used to say to me auntie ``You throw my fuckin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous, '' and she threw the bastard stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a fuckin' genius or whatever I was, when I was a child. It was obvious to me. Why didn't they put me in art school? Why didn't they train me? Why would they keep forcing me to be a fuckin' cowboy like the rest of them? I was different I was always different. Why didn't anybody notice me? A couple of teachers would notice me, encourage me to be something or other, to draw or to paint - express myself. But most of the time they were trying to beat me into being a fuckin' dentist or a teacher

Hate's a terrible thing. It's a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it'll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So what's the point?

And then came the three-toed sloth. Stupid sloth. It was a crazy-looking beastie, all arms and bristling grey fur; its body was a blob, the kind of shape a six-year-old would draw for a pig, and its face was flattened like a racoon that had run full tilt into a brick wall. A triangular stub of a nose jutted out at an angle beneath a fringe that must have been difficult to see through. In fact, from side-on it looked disturbingly like John Lennon.

Hate’s a terrible thing. It’s a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it’ll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So, what’s the point?

I really miss him as a person now – do you know what I mean – he’s not so much ‘the baby’ or ‘my baby’ any more he’s a real living part of me now – you know he’s Julian and everything and I can’t wait to see him, I miss him more than I’ve ever done before – I think it’s been a slow process my feeling like a real father! I spend hours in dressing rooms and things thinking about the times I’ve wasted not being with him – and playing with him – you know I keep thinking of those stupid bastard times when I keep reading bloody newspapers and other shit whilst he’s in the room with me and I’ve decided it’s ALL WRONG! He doesn’t see enough of me as it is and I really want him to know and love me, and miss me like I seem to be missing both of you so much. I’ll go now cause I’m bringing myself down thinking what a thoughtless bastard I seem to be – and it’s only sort of three o’clock in the afternoon and it seems the wrong time of day to feel so emotional

The stupidity of that question has haunted me ever since. Confronted by my husband and his lover – wearing my dressing-gown – behaving as though I was an intruder, all I could do was carry on as if everything were normal.

Did you guys know that John Rawles was right where if we just gave minorities and poor people more money we’d never have to worry about meaning again. Human nature is whatever we say it is so helping the downtrodden is the endpoint of the human condition since we said so. Plato was such an idiot for trying to figure out the archetypes of eternal truth when he could have just been a Liberal Social Democrat, widely acknowledged to be the most superior political position. One that doesn’t believe in superiority itself but still is better. Our ancestors were so silly for trying to transcend the great chain of being to reach the heavens to attain permanent ecstasy. They didn’t know Taco Bell existed yet. Classic mistake. Genghis Khan’s unification of Eurasia stemming from being a homeless orphan in the wastes of Siberia living off gopher meat was silly since violence is always bad. That’s why we let our civilization die without lifting a finger since we shouldn’t have bad vibes. We all know trying too hard and caring too much is worse than losing everything you love. The highest good of human history is letting your entire people go extinct since raising a commotion might hurt someone’s feelings. George Washington was an idiot since he didn’t have an iPhone. We don’t learn about Alexander since he was white. Ancient India might as well never exist so why would his conquests matter. History only started with the 1960s after John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Everything before then was toxic, not the one era opposed to the rest of human history. We call the rest of the human condition mad and evil. Perhaps it’s projection. Why do we live like this? We all know in the bottom of our souls that is stupid and evil. We all know this isn’t real. It’s encoded into our blood from hundreds of millions of years of conscious evolution that this is stupid. We don’t have to do this. Where did everyone’s motivation go? You’re not dead yet. Use your time wisely.

My left side wasn’t unlucky. It was just waiting for Lennon. She heals my hurts. She strengthens me. I’m so stupidly in love with her.
