More quotes by John Lennon
When I started, rock and roll itself was the basic revolution to people of my age and situation. We needed something loud and clear to break through all the unfeeling and repression that had been coming down on us kids.
John Lennon
Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.
John Lennon
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
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
I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
John Lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon
That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots.
John Lennon
Yoko [Ono] was well into liberation before I met her. She'd had to fight her way through a man's world - the art world is completely dominated by men - so she was full of revolutionary zeal when we met.
John Lennon
I go to restaurants and the groups always play Yesterday. I even signed a guy's violin in Spain after he played us Yesterday. He couldn't understand that I didn't write the song. But I guess he couldn't have gone from table to table playing I Am The Walrus.
John Lennon
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
John Lennon
Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulations, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you
John Lennon
Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
John Lennon
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
I don't believe in Elvis.
John Lennon
The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
Love is a promise love is a souvenir.
John Lennon
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
