I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.
John Lennon
Image
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
Image
The first line (of I Am The Walrus) was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.

I can't play guitar, but I can sure make it howl.
John Lennon

I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon

I am going into an unknown future, but I'm still all here, and still while there's life, there's hope.

John Lennon
Image

John Lennon
Image
I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
John Lennon
Image
The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.
John Lennon
Image
In one way, I was always hip. I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things people didn't see. I always saw things in a hallucinatory way.
John Lennon

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
Image
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'.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
