I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles.
John Lennon

That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.
John Lennon
Image
I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
John Lennon

You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?

Creativity is a gift. It doesn't come through if the air is cluttered.
John Lennon

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
John Lennon

We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
Image
I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.
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
Once the new power has taken over they have to establish a new status quo just to keep the factories and trains running.

One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.

We were really professional by the time we got to the States we had learned the whole game. When we arrived here we knew how to handle the press the British press were the toughest in the world and we could handle anything. We were all right.
