More quotes by John Lennon
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
Everybody's talking about ministers, sinisters, banisters, and canisters, bishops, fishops, rabbis, and popeyes, bye-bye, bye-byes.
John Lennon
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.
John Lennon
Once the new power has taken over they have to establish a new status quo just to keep the factories and trains running.
John Lennon
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
Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon
We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
All you need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
John Lennon
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
