I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another
John Lennon
Image
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
John Lennon

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon

Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
John Lennon

You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.

I believe in everything until it's disproved.

I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

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.

The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.
John Lennon

I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
John Lennon

That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.

There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
Image
We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.
John Lennon
Image
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
Image
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen. Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

I'm not really a career person I'm a gardener, basically.
