I don't believe in Beatles.

Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.
John Lennon

I found I was having continually to please the sort of people I'd always hated when I was a child. This began to bring me back to reality.
John Lennon

I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.
John Lennon

We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.

It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.
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
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.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.
John Lennon

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
John Lennon

It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.
John Lennon

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.

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

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.
