More quotes by John Lennon
The only reason I am a star is because of my repression. Nothing else would have driven me through all that if I was 'normal'.
John Lennon
I really thought that love would save us all.
John Lennon
You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?
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
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.
John Lennon
I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
John Lennon
Elvis died the day he went into the army.
John Lennon
A Conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words.
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
There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.
John Lennon
When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
John Lennon
It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.
John Lennon
I don't mind looking to the camera - it's people that throw me.
John Lennon
There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all
John Lennon
