In the words of a certain Mr. Lennon...

But wait...before we get to John:

Dorothy Parker sez: “You can’t teach an old dogma new tricks.”

And let’s not forget this:

(from chapter 7 of The Warren Commission Report):

“Perhaps the most outstanding conclusion of such a study is that [Lee Harvey] Oswald was profoundly alienated from the world in which he lived. His life was characterized by isolation, frustration, and failure. He had very few, if any, close relationships with other people and appeared to have great difficulty in finding a meaningful place in the world.”

Plus there’s also this:

Herman Hesse sez: “We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots, and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering, and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing.”

And this:

Samuel Butler sez: “Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from
insufficient premises.”

And, of course, this:

Bruce Lee sez: “Set patterns, incapable of adaptability, of pliability, only offer a better cage. Truth is outside of all patterns.”

We now return to our regularly scheduled gloom and doom...

John Lennon sez:

"The dream is over…
What can I say?"
