Quote

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

I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.
John Lennon
Image
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

I love commercial music! I can dissect it and criticize it with any critic in the business. But without any thought, I just enjoy it. It's folk music. That's what I'm doing, folk music. I'm not intellectualizing it . . . and making it into a phoney art form. I'm just doing the music I enjoy.

There is no problem only solutions
John Lennon

In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
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
You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
John Lennon
Image
All the revolutions have happened when a Fidel or Marx or Lenin or whatever, who were intellectuals, were able to get through to the workers. They got a good pocket of people together and the workers seemed to understand that they were in a repressed state.
John Lennon
Image
Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.
John Lennon
Image
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
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
I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
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
Surrealism to me is reality. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was.
John Lennon
Image
I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon
Image
I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
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
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.

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
