Image
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
Image
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
Image
if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!
John Lennon
Image
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.

The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.

It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.

Nothing really affected me until Elvis.

Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
John Lennon

After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.

Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
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.
John Lennon

I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
John Lennon
Image
As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much.

I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
Image
I was a great one as a kid for standing and just looking out a window for hours and hours and hours. Now the TV does that for me, except for the view changes immensely.
John Lennon
Image
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.

We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship.

Please don’t spoil my day I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.

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
