Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.

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

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

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
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
Image
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
John Lennon

Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

To begin with, working class people reacted against our openness about sex. They are frightened of nudity, they're repressed in that way as well as others. Perhaps they thought 'Paul [McCartney] is a good lad, he doesn't make trouble'.
John Lennon
Image
We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon

Father, you left me, but I never left you.

Happiness is a warm gun.
John Lennon

I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another
John Lennon

I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
Image
I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.
John Lennon

Leave a space and something will fill it.
John Lennon
Image
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.

The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
