Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
John Lennon

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.
John Lennon

I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
John Lennon

I found I was having continually to please the sort of people I'd always hated when I was a child. This began to bring me back to reality.

John Lennon

It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
Image
There was never any question about it: we [with Yoko Ono] had to have a 50-50 relationship or there was no relationship, I was quick to learn.
John Lennon
Image
Happiness is a warm gun.
John Lennon
Image
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
Image
As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.
John Lennon
Image
There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all
John Lennon

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

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
