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.

I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon

Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don’t expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.
John Lennon

I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off.
John Lennon

What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon

The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
John Lennon
Image
There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.
John Lennon
Image
If there's anything that you want, If there's anything I can do, Just call on me, And I'll send it along with love from me to you.
John Lennon

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.
John Lennon
Image
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
Image
There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all

Imagine all the people living life in peace.

You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
Image
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
John Lennon

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health, is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time because it's too hard.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...

Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
