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 think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Image
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.
John Lennon
Image
I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon
Image
I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
John Lennon

I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon

Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.
John Lennon

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.
John Lennon
Image
In one way, I was always hip. I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things people didn't see. I always saw things in a hallucinatory way.
John Lennon
Image
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
John Lennon
Image
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
Image
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
Image
I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
Image
I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen.

How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon

If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
Once the new power has taken over they have to establish a new status quo just to keep the factories and trains running.
John Lennon
Image
There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.

I don't mind looking to the camera - it's people that throw me.
