They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
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
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
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

My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.
John Lennon

I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
John Lennon
Image
When you're thirty-five, you can't take as much booze ... and I always got a little violent on drink...So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
Image
We were always going to dump him when we found a decent drummer.
John Lennon
Image
All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees.
John Lennon
Image
You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Image
Everything is as important as everything else.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon

Life is what's going on while your making other plans.

I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
