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
A more interesting question is not 'Why did they break up?' but 'Would they have gotten back together?' ... There's always a chance we'd work together again, but I can't see us touring. I just see us making records.
John Lennon
Image
I don't believe in Beatles.
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.
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.

Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.
John Lennon
Image
In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
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
Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
Image
I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
John Lennon
Image
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Image
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
Image
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon
Image
Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.
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
We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon
