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
Image
I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.
John Lennon
Image
That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.
John Lennon

Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
John Lennon
Image
I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution - but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
John Lennon

Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.

We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.

After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.

Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
John Lennon

I've withdrawn many times. Part of me is a monk, and part a performing flea! The fear in the music business is that you don't exist if you're not at Xenon with Andy Warhol.
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
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
Image
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.
John Lennon
Image
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
John Lennon
Image
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon
Image
That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.

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