More quotes by John Lennon
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
I don't bother so much about the others' songs. For instance, I don't give a damn about how 'Something' is doing in the charts - I watch 'Come Together' (the flip side) because that's my song.
John Lennon
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.
John Lennon
When you're in love, when somebody says something like, How can you be with that woman? you say, What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?
John Lennon
We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.
John Lennon
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.
John Lennon
I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
John Lennon
The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
John Lennon
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
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
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
John Lennon
Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere - come and get your share.
John Lennon
As I play the game of life, I try to make it better each and every day. And when I struggle in the night, The magic of the music seems to light the way.
John Lennon
