There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen. Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

More quotes by John Lennon

I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon
Image
I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
John Lennon
Image
I believe in everything until it's disproved.
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
The only reason I am a star is because of my repression. Nothing else would have driven me through all that if I was 'normal'.
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.
John Lennon
Image
I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.
John Lennon

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon

All the revolutions have happened when a Fidel or Marx or Lenin or whatever, who were intellectuals, were able to get through to the workers. They got a good pocket of people together and the workers seemed to understand that they were in a repressed state.

That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.
John Lennon
Image
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
Image
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
Image
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
John Lennon
Image
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
John Lennon
Image
I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
John Lennon
Image
I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
John Lennon
Image
The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.
John Lennon
Image
Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. We can work it out. W e can work it out.

The writing of the Beatles, or John and Paul's contribution to the Beatles in the late sixties - had a kind of depth to it, a more mature, more intellectual approach. We were different people, we were older. We knew each other in all kinds of different ways than when we wrote together as teenagers and in our older twenties.
