It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
John Lennon
Image
I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon
Image
We were always going to dump him when we found a decent drummer.
John Lennon
Image
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
Image
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen.

Image
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom Let it be.
John Lennon

That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots.

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.

Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.
John Lennon

John Lennon

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
I believe that time wounds all heals. (karma)
John Lennon
Image
I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
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
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon

Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
