If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.

What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
Image
I'm really very embarrassed about my guitar playing, in one way, because it's very poor. I can never move but I can make a guitar speak.
John Lennon
Image
We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
Image
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon

It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
Image
I've withdrawn many times. Part of me is a monk, and part a performing flea! The fear in the music business is that you don't exist if you're not at Xenon with Andy Warhol.
John Lennon
Image
When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Image
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

Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don’t expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.
John Lennon
Image
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
Image
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
Image
Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
God is a concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John Lennon
Image
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.

If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.

The world went mad and used us as an excuse.
