More quotes by John Lennon
I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.
John Lennon
I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon
Everything is as important as everything else.
John Lennon
I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon
Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
John Lennon
I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.
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
Everybody's talking about ministers, sinisters, banisters, and canisters, bishops, fishops, rabbis, and popeyes, bye-bye, bye-byes.
John Lennon
Rituals are important.
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.
John Lennon
Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
