There's nothing you can do that can't be done, Nothing you can sing that can't be sung, Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game, It's easy... All you need is love.
John Lennon
Image
There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.
John Lennon

There were very few real folk singers you know, though I liked Dominic Behan a bit and there was some good stuff to be heard in Liverpool. Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio or TV of real workers in Ireland or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.

Before Elvis there was nothing.

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.

Yoko [Ono] was well into liberation before I met her. She'd had to fight her way through a man's world - the art world is completely dominated by men - so she was full of revolutionary zeal when we met.
John Lennon
Image
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.

Everybody's talking about ministers, sinisters, banisters, and canisters, bishops, fishops, rabbis, and popeyes, bye-bye, bye-byes.
John Lennon
Image
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Rituals are important.

Get back to where you once belonged.

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

I get by with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon
Image
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
John Lennon
Image
Life is what happens when we are busy doing other things. Peace is not something you wish for it's something you make, something you do, something you are and something you give away.
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.

So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
