If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
John Lennon
Image
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Image
I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.
John Lennon
Image
Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.
John Lennon
Image
I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can.
John Lennon
Image
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
Image
That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.
John Lennon
Image
One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.
John Lennon

Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon
Image
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon

When you cross the street, take my hand
John Lennon
Image
I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
John Lennon
Image
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.
John Lennon

Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
John Lennon
Image
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
Image
There were very few real folk singers you know, though I liked Dominic Behan a bit and there was some good stuff to be heard in Liverpool. Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio or TV of real workers in Ireland or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.
John Lennon

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Image
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.

Love is real, real is love.
