“An enchantress always takes action. Wrongly or rightly; that is revealed later. But you should act, be brave, seize life by the scruff of the neck. Believe me, little one, you should only regret inactivity, indecisiveness, hesitation. You shouldn’t regret actions or decisions, even if they occasionally end in sadness and regret.” - Andrzej Sapkowski, Time of Contempt

John Lennon and Paul McCartney met on this day in 1957          “To lose your mum at fourteen is not easy. It was very difficult for a few years – just trying come to terms with it. But then I found music… and John.” - Paul McCartney          “I just saw a girl who said she saw John Lennon walking down the street in New York wearing a button that said, “I love Paul.” She asked him, “Why are you wearing an ‘I love Paul’ button?” and he said, “Because I love Paul.”” - Harry Nilsson

Well, I’ll tell you one of the things that affected me — and I never even thought about it before but the footage is there — I had an appreciation how utterly painful this must have been for Paul. Because he’s watching his closest creative collaborator — someone he’s known since he was fifteen or sixteen years old — start to drift and go towards Yoko. John’s not pushing Paul away, but Paul’s watching Yoko now become the creative collaborator John’s excited about. And can you imagine how painful that must be for Paul? How utterly, utterly painful. He’s just watching it. And he’s okay, he deals with it. He loves the Beatles, he loves John, he wants to go on with it. But boy, what a pa— and you feel it. And I never— that never even occurred to me before. You know, it’s all about John and Paul hating each other and not talking to each other, all that negative stuff. But it’s actually— you see this kind of thing happening and it’s just— it’s wow. – Peter Jackson on John & Paul.
