Quote by John Lennon
I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker expresses their initial belief that they had never met a woman who they considered to be as intelligent as themselves. They admit that this might sound conceited, attributing their perception to the limited encounters they had with women who fit into two categories: those focused on their appearance and those who were intellectuals with personal issues. The speaker goes on to explain that due to their professional field, they didn't have many opportunities to meet intellectual people in general. However, their perspective changed when they met Yoko, an artist who shared their intelligence and understanding, finally fulfilling their long-held desire of meeting a like-minded artistic woman.
