We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream.

A lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That's the kind of world I live in. It's very sort of flamboyant, and that's the kind of way I write. I love it.

I no longer believe in myth, and Beatles is another myth. The dream is over.

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.

Indeed, it is only by means of the rigid and regular web of concepts that the waking man clearly sees that he is awake; and it is precisely because of this that he sometimes thinks that he must be dreaming when this web of concepts is torn by art.
