More quotes by John Lennon
I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
John Lennon
I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.
John Lennon
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon
Control yourself. You'll spurt.
John Lennon
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
John Lennon
Life doesn't imitate art...it is art!
John Lennon
In one way, I was always hip. I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things people didn't see. I always saw things in a hallucinatory way.
John Lennon
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
You can only breathe out if you breathe in.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.
John Lennon
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.
John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
John Lennon
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
