More quotes by 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
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
I love commercial music! I can dissect it and criticize it with any critic in the business. But without any thought, I just enjoy it. It's folk music. That's what I'm doing, folk music. I'm not intellectualizing it . . . and making it into a phoney art form. I'm just doing the music I enjoy.
John Lennon
There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
John Lennon
I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!
John Lennon
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
John Lennon
I wouldn't say I was a born writer I'm a born thinker.
John Lennon
I don't know if I want to record together again. I go off and on it... In the old days, when we needed an album, Paul and I got together and produced enough songs for it. Nowadays, there's three of us writing prolifically and trying to fit it all into one album.
John Lennon
As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.
John Lennon
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
Life happens whilst you're planning other things.
John Lennon
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
I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
John Lennon
You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
John Lennon
