Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
John Lennon

We gave up everything just to sit at your table.
John Lennon

The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon
Image
I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
John Lennon
Image
I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.
John Lennon

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
John Lennon
Image
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
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
I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.

Everything is as important as everything else.
John Lennon
Image
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.

What Can I Tell You about Myself which You Have Not Already Found Out from Those Who Do Not Lie?
John Lennon

Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
Image
You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.
John Lennon

You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon

Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.
John Lennon

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Image
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

The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.

As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening
