Quote

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.

You better get yourself together, darling, and join the human race.
John Lennon
Image
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
Image
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
I believe in everything until it's disproved.
John Lennon
Image
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
Image
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
Image
Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.
John Lennon
Image
Yoko [Ono] was well into liberation before I met her. She'd had to fight her way through a man's world - the art world is completely dominated by men - so she was full of revolutionary zeal when we met.
John Lennon
Image
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
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
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
All you need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
John Lennon
Image
Please don’t spoil my day I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.
John Lennon
Image
The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon
Image
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon
Image
I began to realise that we are all oppressed which is why I would like to do something about it, though I'm not sure where my place is.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
Image
Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?
John Lennon
Image
There is no denying that we are still living in the capitalist world. I think that in order to survive and to change the world, you have to take care of yourself first. You have to survive yourself.
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.
