More quotes by 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
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon
Happiness is a warm gun.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.
John Lennon
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon
I used to say to my auntie, 'You throw my fu*kin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous,' and she threw the bast*rd stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a fu*kin' genius or whatever I was when I was a child.
John Lennon
The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen.
John Lennon
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
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
What Can I Tell You about Myself which You Have Not Already Found Out from Those Who Do Not Lie?
John Lennon
We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon
I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off.
John Lennon
Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
John Lennon
