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

You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon
Image
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
John Lennon

I'm really very embarrassed about my guitar playing, in one way, because it's very poor. I can never move but I can make a guitar speak.

Life doesn't imitate art...it is art!

Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.
John Lennon

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.

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.

That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon

My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon

At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.

What Can I Tell You about Myself which You Have Not Already Found Out from Those Who Do Not Lie?
John Lennon
Image
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?

I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon

I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
