I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.

If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don't go after it.
John Lennon
Image
One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were . . . . It happened bit by bit, until . . . you're doing exactly what you don't want to do with people you can't stand -- the people you hated when you were ten.
John Lennon
Image
The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.
John Lennon
Image
I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
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.

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
Image
I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control
John Lennon
Image
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

We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
Image
We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.
John Lennon
Image
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
Image
Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.
John Lennon
Image
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
Image
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
Image
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
Image
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees.
John Lennon
Image
The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.
John Lennon
Image
It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.
John Lennon
Image
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
