Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
Image
When you're in love, when somebody says something like, How can you be with that woman? you say, What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?
John Lennon

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon

Look, I wasn't saying the Beatles are better than God or Jesus. I said 'Beatles' because it's easy for me to talk about Beatles. I could have said TV or the cinema, motor cars or anything popular and I would have gotten away with it.
John Lennon

The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
Image
There is no denying that we are still living in the capitalist world. I think that in order to survive and to change the world, you have to take care of yourself first. You have to survive yourself.
John Lennon
Image
Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.
John Lennon
Image
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.

paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness

We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.
John Lennon

Leave a space and something will fill it.
John Lennon

Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon

It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon

In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
John Lennon
Image
I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.

Life doesn't imitate art...it is art!

In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
