More quotes by John Lennon

Image
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
Image
The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
John Lennon
Image
Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
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

Remember to let her into your heart.

One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
Image
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.
John Lennon

You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
Image
I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
Image
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
John Lennon

It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.
John Lennon
Image
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
John Lennon
Image
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.

Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
John Lennon
Image
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon

I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
John Lennon

The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
