More quotes by John Lennon
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.
John Lennon
I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.
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
The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.
John Lennon
Don't underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you're happy, who cares what you do?
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit--you move your house or something.
John Lennon
It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
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.
John Lennon
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
John Lennon
Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.
John Lennon
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
As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much.
John Lennon
All you need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
John Lennon
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can.
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
