More quotes by John Lennon
If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.
John Lennon
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
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
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.
John Lennon
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
John Lennon
We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.
John Lennon
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.
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
Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.
John Lennon
I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.
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
We had one thing in common - we were in love. But love is just a gift, and it doesn't answer everything and it's like a precious plant that you have to nurture and look after and all that.
John Lennon
We were always going to dump him when we found a decent drummer.
John Lennon
I don't bother so much about the others' songs. For instance, I don't give a damn about how 'Something' is doing in the charts - I watch 'Come Together' (the flip side) because that's my song.
John Lennon
