We had one thing in common - we were in love. But love is just a gift, and it doesn't answer everything and it's like a precious plant that you have to nurture and look after and all that.
John Lennon

I want to be with my best friend. My best friend, my wife. Who could ask for anything more?
John Lennon

Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.
John Lennon

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon

When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.

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'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.
John Lennon

People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
John Lennon
Image
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon
Image
I began to realise that we are all oppressed which is why I would like to do something about it, though I'm not sure where my place is.
John Lennon

Happiness is just how you feel when you don't feel miserable.
John Lennon
Image
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.

After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.
