Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy. Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need.

That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.
John Lennon

Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
Image
As I play the game of life, I try to make it better each and every day. And when I struggle in the night, The magic of the music seems to light the way.

The writing of the Beatles, or John and Paul's contribution to the Beatles in the late sixties - had a kind of depth to it, a more mature, more intellectual approach. We were different people, we were older. We knew each other in all kinds of different ways than when we wrote together as teenagers and in our older twenties.

We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.

So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
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
Image
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
John Lennon
Image
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon

Get back to where you once belonged.
John Lennon

Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
Image
There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
John Lennon
Image
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
John Lennon

Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.

When you're in love, when somebody says something like, How can you be with that woman? you say, What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?
John Lennon
Image
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon

Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.

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