We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.
John Lennon

More quotes by John Lennon
Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.
John Lennon
Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.
John Lennon
I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
John Lennon
I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
John Lennon
The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.
John Lennon
Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
John Lennon
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
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.
John Lennon
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon
Love is real, real is love.
John Lennon
I believe that time wounds all heals. (karma)
John Lennon
When you cross the street, take my hand
John Lennon
I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.
John Lennon
Imagine ... Imagine no religion.
John Lennon
The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.
John Lennon
One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.
John Lennon
Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
John Lennon
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
