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.

More quotes by John Lennon
We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.
John Lennon
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
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
The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
John Lennon
I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere - come and get your share.
John Lennon
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon
The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.
John Lennon
I go to restaurants and the groups always play Yesterday. I even signed a guy's violin in Spain after he played us Yesterday. He couldn't understand that I didn't write the song. But I guess he couldn't have gone from table to table playing I Am The Walrus.
John Lennon
That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots.
John Lennon
If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don't go after it.
John Lennon
When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.
John Lennon
I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
