Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.
John Lennon

Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Image
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.

Avant-garde is French for bullshit
John Lennon
Image
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
Image
I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution - but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
John Lennon
Image
When I started, rock and roll itself was the basic revolution to people of my age and situation. We needed something loud and clear to break through all the unfeeling and repression that had been coming down on us kids.
John Lennon
Image
Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

Before Elvis there was nothing.
John Lennon
Image
To begin with, working class people reacted against our openness about sex. They are frightened of nudity, they're repressed in that way as well as others. Perhaps they thought 'Paul [McCartney] is a good lad, he doesn't make trouble'.

Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon

Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.
John Lennon
Image
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
John Lennon
Image
Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. We can work it out. W e can work it out.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon

Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
Image
You can go to church and sing a hymn, Judge me by the colour of my skin, You can live a lie until you die, One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon

Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.

We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.
