More quotes by John Lennon
if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon
If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don't go after it.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.
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
I wouldn't say I was a born writer I'm a born thinker.
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.
John Lennon
Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulations, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you
John Lennon
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love
John Lennon
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
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
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
John Lennon
Rituals are important.
John Lennon
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
I want it to sound like an orange.
John Lennon
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
