John Lennon
Image

John Lennon
Image
There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen. Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
John Lennon
Image

John Lennon
Image
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
Image
I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
Image
I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.
John Lennon
Image
It's like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium. I felt like a hollow temple filled with many spirits, each one passing through me, each inhabiting me for a little time and then leaving to be replaced by another.
John Lennon
Image
Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon
Image
I wouldn't say I was a born writer I'm a born thinker.
John Lennon
Image
I don't mind looking to the camera - it's people that throw me.
