These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.

More quotes by John Lennon
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
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
Life's what happens when you're making other plans.
John Lennon
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon
That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.
John Lennon
You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon
I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.
John Lennon
Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
John Lennon
We were always going to dump him when we found a decent drummer.
John Lennon
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can.
John Lennon
We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
The whole thing died in my mind long before the rumpus started. We used to believe the Beatles myth just as much as the public and we were in love with them just the same way. But we were four individuals who eventually recovered our individualities after being submerged in a myth.
John Lennon
