Image
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Image
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
Image
I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.
John Lennon
Image
I used to say to my auntie, 'You throw my fu*kin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous,' and she threw the bast*rd stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a fu*kin' genius or whatever I was when I was a child.
John Lennon
Image
Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
John Lennon
Image
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
Image
I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
John Lennon
Image
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
John Lennon
Image
Yoko [Ono] was well into liberation before I met her. She'd had to fight her way through a man's world - the art world is completely dominated by men - so she was full of revolutionary zeal when we met.
John Lennon
Image
I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.
John Lennon
Image
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.
John Lennon
Image
There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen. Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
John Lennon
Image
Love is real, real is love.
John Lennon
Image
Please don’t spoil my day I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.
John Lennon
Image
Life is what happens when you make other plans.
John Lennon
Image
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
Image
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
Image
The world went mad and used us as an excuse.
John Lennon
Image
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Image
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
John Lennon
