More quotes by John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
John Lennon
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
John Lennon
The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.
John Lennon
Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.
John Lennon
Life is what happens when we are busy doing other things. Peace is not something you wish for it's something you make, something you do, something you are and something you give away.
John Lennon
There were very few real folk singers you know, though I liked Dominic Behan a bit and there was some good stuff to be heard in Liverpool. Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio or TV of real workers in Ireland or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.
John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon
Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Elvis.
John Lennon
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
Getting out of one car and getting into another
John Lennon
Happiness is a good vibe for peace.
John Lennon
The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles.
John Lennon
I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon
