John Lennon // "People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine...I always wondered, "Why has no one discovered me?" In school, didn't they see...that all they had was information that I didn't need? I used to say to my auntie, "You throw my fuckin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous," and she threw the bastard stuff out...Why didn't they put me in art school? Why didn't they train me...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...express myself. But most of the time they were trying to beat me into becoming a fuckin' dentist or a teacher."
