The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.

More quotes by John Lennon
Surrealism to me is reality. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was.
John Lennon
You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.
John Lennon
Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.
John Lennon
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
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.
John Lennon
Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon
I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles.
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
Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
John Lennon
Whatever gets you through the night
John Lennon
I believe Jesus was right, Buddha was right, and all of those people like that are right. They're all saying the same thing - and I believe it. I believe what Jesus actually said - the basic things he laid down about love and goodness - and not what people say he said.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
Life is what happens when you make other plans.
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon
