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

More quotes by John Lennon
When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.
John Lennon
I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night
John Lennon
When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head, in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don't know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us.
John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon
The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'
John Lennon
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
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.
John Lennon
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon
Elvis died the day he went into the army.
John Lennon
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
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
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?
John Lennon
Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon
I'm not really a career person I'm a gardener, basically.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon
