Mark David Chapman's quote "I wasn't angry the night I shot him" is a cooling suggestion of the power of mental disorder and the disastrous repercussions it can have. It recommends that Chapman was not in a logical state of mind when he committed the murder of John Lennon. It suggests that Chapman was not in control of his emotions and was instead driven by an ingrained anger that had actually been building up inside him for a long time. This quote serves as a cautioning to those who struggle with mental illness to look for aid before it is far too late. It also works as a suggestion to society to be more knowledgeable about the signs of mental disorder and to supply assistance to those who require it.
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress"
"So many people are working in vaudeville today that I looked for three weeks to book enough acts for an hour bill and didn't have them until the night before we opened in Buffalo and money was no object!"
"Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree"
