More quotes by John Lennon
Mostly folk music is people with fruity voices trying to keep alive something old and dead. It's all a bit boring, like ballet: a minority thing kept going by a minority group.
John Lennon
I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
John Lennon
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
John Lennon
Happiness is a warm gun.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Elvis.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.
John Lennon
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
John Lennon
The world went mad and used us as an excuse.
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
We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.
John Lennon
There was never any question about it: we [with Yoko Ono] had to have a 50-50 relationship or there was no relationship, I was quick to learn.
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
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
John Lennon
