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.

I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.
John Lennon
I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.
John Lennon
My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon

John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.
John Lennon
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
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 started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon
Once the new power has taken over they have to establish a new status quo just to keep the factories and trains running.
John Lennon
I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!
John Lennon
At the (record company) meeting Paul just kept mithering on about what we were going to do, so in the end I just said, 'I think you're daft. I want a divorce.'
John Lennon
It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.
John Lennon
In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
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
