Quote

It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.

And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.
John Lennon
Image
I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
Image
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
John Lennon

Control yourself. You'll spurt.
John Lennon
Image
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
John Lennon

I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
John Lennon
Image
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.

I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head

Life happens whilst you're planning other things.

Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.

Love is a promise love is a souvenir.

I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.
John Lennon

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
Image
When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head, in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don't know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us.

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
Image
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Image
Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.
John Lennon

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.

Music is everybody's possession.
