Quote

The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.

paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon

The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.

I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.

You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.

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.

We had one thing in common - we were in love. But love is just a gift, and it doesn't answer everything and it's like a precious plant that you have to nurture and look after and all that.
John Lennon

if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon

I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
Image
It looks like I'm going to be 40 and life begins at 40 - so they promise. And I believe it, too.
John Lennon

It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.

All the revolutions have happened when a Fidel or Marx or Lenin or whatever, who were intellectuals, were able to get through to the workers. They got a good pocket of people together and the workers seemed to understand that they were in a repressed state.

Without a job all there is to life is boredom and insecurity.

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
