Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon
Image
Father, you left me, but I never left you.
John Lennon

Life's what happens when you're making other plans.

You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
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

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.
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
If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
John Lennon
Image
It looks like I'm going to be 40 and life begins at 40 - so they promise. And I believe it, too.
John Lennon
Image
You can go to church and sing a hymn, Judge me by the colour of my skin, You can live a lie until you die, One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
Image
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
Image
We're crazy about this city. Los Angeles? That's just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.
John Lennon
Image
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
Image
There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
