John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon
Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere - come and get your share.
John Lennon

John Lennon
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
If there's anything that you want, If there's anything I can do, Just call on me, And I'll send it along with love from me to you.
John Lennon
I get by with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon

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
And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.
John Lennon
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
Life happens whilst you're planning other things.
John Lennon
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it! Do that again!' In those days we really used to absolutely write like that - both playing into each other's noses.
John Lennon
I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.
John Lennon
