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.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon
Image
There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.
John Lennon

Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon

There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.
John Lennon
Image
I began to realise that we are all oppressed which is why I would like to do something about it, though I'm not sure where my place is.
John Lennon

One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon

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.

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

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
Image
Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
Image
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
Image
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
John Lennon
Image
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
Image
Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.
John Lennon
Image
We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon
Image
Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.
John Lennon
Image
I don't bother so much about the others' songs. For instance, I don't give a damn about how 'Something' is doing in the charts - I watch 'Come Together' (the flip side) because that's my song.
John Lennon
Image
We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.
John Lennon
Image
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

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.
