People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Image
And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it! Do that again!' In those days we really used to absolutely write like that - both playing into each other's noses.
John Lennon
Image
Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.
John Lennon
Image
if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon
Image
How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
Image
I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night
John Lennon

I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
John Lennon
Image
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
John Lennon

I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon
Image
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
Image
You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.
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
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
Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
John Lennon
Image
We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon
Image
You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
Image
What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.
John Lennon
Image
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon

If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.
