Quote

I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.

John Lennon

Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.
John Lennon

The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.
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.

[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.

After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.

You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
John Lennon
Image
People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit--you move your house or something.

Everybody's talking about ministers, sinisters, banisters, and canisters, bishops, fishops, rabbis, and popeyes, bye-bye, bye-byes.
John Lennon
Image
Happiness is a warm gun.
John Lennon
Image
I believe Jesus was right, Buddha was right, and all of those people like that are right. They're all saying the same thing - and I believe it. I believe what Jesus actually said - the basic things he laid down about love and goodness - and not what people say he said.
John Lennon

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon

I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
Image
I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
John Lennon
Image
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
Image
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.

Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
John Lennon
Image
I was a great one as a kid for standing and just looking out a window for hours and hours and hours. Now the TV does that for me, except for the view changes immensely.
John Lennon
Image
At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.

Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?
