I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!
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.

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.

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.

I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon

When you're thirty-five, you can't take as much booze ... and I always got a little violent on drink...So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it.

Avant-garde is French for bullshit

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
John Lennon

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create
John Lennon
Image
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
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
Image
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Image
I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.
John Lennon
Image
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon

A Conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words.

In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.

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.
