Quote

I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.

I can't play guitar, but I can sure make it howl.
John Lennon

Rituals are important.
John Lennon

Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
Image
You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
John Lennon
Image
Surrealism to me is reality. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was.
John Lennon

I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another

When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.

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

I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
John Lennon
Image
If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.
John Lennon
Image
The first line (of I Am The Walrus) was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.
John Lennon

It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
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
Image
Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
Image
It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.

Don't need a gun to blow your mind
