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.
John Lennon

It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.
John Lennon
Image
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon

It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
Image
Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere - come and get your share.
John Lennon
Image
Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
Image
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love
John Lennon

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me.

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.

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'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
John Lennon
Image
When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.
John Lennon
Image
I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon
Image
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
John Lennon
Image
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
Image
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.
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.

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