Talk:John Lennon

From Wikiquote

Quote from the article: "[...] I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. [...]". Where is "here"? The US? Europe, other than England? --Kooo (account in wp)

The quote you are referring to was from a news conference in Chicago. I am about to add that info now. ~ Achilles 00:51, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The "genius quote" I just added was sourced from <http://quotes.prolix.nu/Authors/?John_Lennon>. -Barry, MN, USA

I cut out all but one of the quotes from 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" I think that only one is really relevant. If anyone disagrees, go ahead and tack the lyrics back on there.

[edit] Unsourced

Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to John Lennon. --Antiquary 21:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
