More quotes by John Lennon
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon
In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
What Can I Tell You about Myself which You Have Not Already Found Out from Those Who Do Not Lie?
John Lennon
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon
How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.
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
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
John Lennon
Rituals are important.
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
John Lennon
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon
We're crazy about this city. Los Angeles? That's just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.
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.
John Lennon
