Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.

More quotes by John Lennon
Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.
John Lennon
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
John Lennon
Look, I wasn't saying the Beatles are better than God or Jesus. I said 'Beatles' because it's easy for me to talk about Beatles. I could have said TV or the cinema, motor cars or anything popular and I would have gotten away with it.
John Lennon
I didn't come after Elvis and Dylan, I've been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love 'em.
John Lennon
paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon
Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.
John Lennon
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
John Lennon
You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
John Lennon
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon
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
John Lennon
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
It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.
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 really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon
It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots.
John Lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
John Lennon
It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.
John Lennon
