Quote by John Lennon

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now. I don't know which will go first; rock and roll or Christianity.

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now. I don't know which

Summary

This provocative quote, famously said by John Lennon in 1966, sparked controversy and outrage among religious communities. Lennon's intention was not to belittle Christianity explicitly, but to address the booming popularity of The Beatles. Hailing their immense fame, Lennon suggested that their impact on society, particularly among the younger generation, might outweigh that of traditional religious institutions. While his words were considered blasphemous by many, they highlight the cultural shifts happening during that era and the influence popular culture had on society's values and beliefs.

This life as a simple citizen and laborer has its benefits not only for the person himself but perhaps also for his country. After all, there is room for only one Prime Minister, but for those who make the desert bloom there is room for hundreds, thousands and even millions. And the destiny of the state is in the hands of the many rather than of a single individual. There are times when an individual feels he should do those things which only can and should be done by the many.

You may call the people a mob; but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.
