It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.

I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. Furthermore, I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. Furthermore, I apologize if that will make you happy. Furthermore, I still don't know quite what I've done. Furthermore, I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.

— John Lennon
