Quote

The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.

People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit--you move your house or something.
John Lennon

Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.
John Lennon

I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control
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.

At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.

I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.

As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.

The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.

paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness

The more I see the less I know for sure.

If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
John Lennon

It's like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium. I felt like a hollow temple filled with many spirits, each one passing through me, each inhabiting me for a little time and then leaving to be replaced by another.

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

I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.

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.

I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.

I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.

Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
