The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon

Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.
John Lennon
Image
We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create
John Lennon

When I get older losing my hair many years from now. Will you still be sending me a Valentine. Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four?

Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them

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.

I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon

When you're thirty-five, you can't take as much booze ... and I always got a little violent on drink...So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it.
John Lennon

I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon

There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon

Everything is as important as everything else.
John Lennon

Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
John Lennon
Image
I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another
John Lennon

A more interesting question is not 'Why did they break up?' but 'Would they have gotten back together?' ... There's always a chance we'd work together again, but I can't see us touring. I just see us making records.

It's weird not to be weird.
