More quotes by John Lennon

Image
Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
John Lennon

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon

They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.
John Lennon

People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit--you move your house or something.

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon

Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon

You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?

You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon

We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
Image
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.

Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them

There is no problem only solutions

Control yourself. You'll spurt.

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.
John Lennon

At the (record company) meeting Paul just kept mithering on about what we were going to do, so in the end I just said, 'I think you're daft. I want a divorce.'

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.

There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.

We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?

I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
