We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon

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.

The first line (of I Am The Walrus) was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.

Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.

You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.

As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much.

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.

I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.

I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon

The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.

Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.

I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon

I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon

When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon

Mostly folk music is people with fruity voices trying to keep alive something old and dead. It's all a bit boring, like ballet: a minority thing kept going by a minority group.
John Lennon
Image
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon

I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon

It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.

Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
