John Lennon
Image
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
Image
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
Image
I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
John Lennon

As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening
John Lennon
Image
The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.
John Lennon
Image
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
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

Remember to let her into your heart.
John Lennon

Everything they told me as a kid has already been disproved by the same type of “experts” who made them up in the first place.
John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon

Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
Image
My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.
