More quotes by Mark David Chapman

There are not many places to go once you've killed someone like John Lennon.

I aimed at his back and pulled the trigger five times and all hell broke loose in my mind.

There was no emotion in my blood. There was no anger. There was nothing. It was dead silence in my brain.

Dead, cold quiet, until he walked up. He looked at me... he walked past me and then I heard in my head. It said, 'Do it, do it, do it,' over and over again.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
