More quotes by John Lennon
I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there's three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.
John Lennon
How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
John Lennon
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
Whatever gets you through the night
John Lennon
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
All this bit about angels and all the different religions, it's based on something. I think anything's possible. I believe in everything until it's disproved.
John Lennon
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon
I can't play guitar, but I can sure make it howl.
John Lennon
If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.
John Lennon
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
John Lennon
I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
John Lennon
If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
John Lennon
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
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
I found I was having continually to please the sort of people I'd always hated when I was a child. This began to bring me back to reality.
John Lennon
That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.
John Lennon
