Quote

My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

John Lennon

The world went mad and used us as an excuse.
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

Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.

The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.

When you cross the street, take my hand

The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.

That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.
John Lennon

I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Image
I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
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

Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.
John Lennon
Image
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Image
Control yourself. You'll spurt.
John Lennon

Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.

What Can I Tell You about Myself which You Have Not Already Found Out from Those Who Do Not Lie?
John Lennon

When you're in love, when somebody says something like, How can you be with that woman? you say, What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?

[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon

I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
