Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon

Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon

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
In one way, I was always hip. I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things people didn't see. I always saw things in a hallucinatory way.
John Lennon

There is no problem only solutions
John Lennon

One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
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.

Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.
John Lennon
Image
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

Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?
John Lennon
Image
You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
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

The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
John Lennon
Image
All you need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
John Lennon

I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon

Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
John Lennon
Image
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
Image
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love
John Lennon
Image
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
John Lennon
