I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong. -John Lennon

Lennon 1967
In his personal life, Lennon did not find much fulfillment with his first wife Cynthia, even though the two bore a son together named Julian. Lennon didn’t have much of a relationship with his son, saying that he was born out of a whisky bottle. The two became closer as they aged, but it was with Lennon’s second son Sean that he devoted his time and energy towards. Both Sean and Julian have musical careers and have had success on their own merit.
