More quotes by John Lennon
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon
I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.
John Lennon
Strawberry fields forever
John Lennon
I believe that time wounds all heals. (karma)
John Lennon
You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.
John Lennon
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
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
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
Ringo is Ringo, that's all there is to it. And he's every bloody bit as warm, unassuming, funny and kind as he seems. He was quite simply the heart of the Beatles
John Lennon
The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
I love commercial music! I can dissect it and criticize it with any critic in the business. But without any thought, I just enjoy it. It's folk music. That's what I'm doing, folk music. I'm not intellectualizing it . . . and making it into a phoney art form. I'm just doing the music I enjoy.
John Lennon
Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.
John Lennon
One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.
John Lennon
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
