More quotes by John Lennon
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
John Lennon
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon
I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
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
It's like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium. I felt like a hollow temple filled with many spirits, each one passing through me, each inhabiting me for a little time and then leaving to be replaced by another.
John Lennon
At the (record company) meeting Paul just kept mithering on about what we were going to do, so in the end I just said, 'I think you're daft. I want a divorce.'
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
I can't play guitar, but I can sure make it howl.
John Lennon
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
John Lennon
Strawberry fields forever
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
I want it to sound like an orange.
John Lennon
The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.
John Lennon
