I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon
Image
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
Image
Without a job all there is to life is boredom and insecurity.
John Lennon
Image
God is a concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Control yourself. You'll spurt.
John Lennon

If there's anything that you want, If there's anything I can do, Just call on me, And I'll send it along with love from me to you.
John Lennon

You are not your emotions,you have emotions,and you can master them.
John Lennon
Image

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
It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.
John Lennon
Image
I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Image
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

You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon

You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
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?
John Lennon
Image
Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.
John Lennon

We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
