Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.

More quotes by John Lennon
There is no problem only solutions
John Lennon
Avant-garde is French for bullshit
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
It looks like I'm going to be 40 and life begins at 40 - so they promise. And I believe it, too.
John Lennon
It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
John Lennon
Father, you left me, but I never left you.
John Lennon
There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.
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
At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.
John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
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
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon
It's weird not to be weird.
John Lennon
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
John Lennon
From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.
John Lennon
