I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there's three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.

I am going into an unknown future, but I'm still all here, and still while there's life, there's hope.

Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go

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

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.

As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening
John Lennon

If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
John Lennon

I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Image
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

Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
Image
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

I want it to sound like an orange.

I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.

Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.

It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.
