Quote

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

More quotes by John Lennon

Image
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.

I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.

I'm not really a career person I'm a gardener, basically.

Elvis died the day he went into the army.

So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon

My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night

Nobody loves you when you're down and out.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.

You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.

Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.

Love is a promise love is a souvenir.

I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.

There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.

I found I was having continually to please the sort of people I'd always hated when I was a child. This began to bring me back to reality.

Father, you left me, but I never left you.
John Lennon

One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were . . . . It happened bit by bit, until . . . you're doing exactly what you don't want to do with people you can't stand -- the people you hated when you were ten.
