Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

More quotes by John Lennon
I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.
John Lennon
I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
John Lennon
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
John Lennon
We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.
John Lennon
I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.
John Lennon
Nothing you can know that isn't known Nothing you can see that isn't shown Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be It's easy
John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.
John Lennon
I began to realise that we are all oppressed which is why I would like to do something about it, though I'm not sure where my place is.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
Love is real, real is love.
John Lennon
The more I see the less I know for sure.
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
Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. We can work it out. W e can work it out.
John Lennon
Remember to let her into your heart.
John Lennon
