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.

I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon

If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy. Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need.
John Lennon
Image
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
Image
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon

What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon

Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
John Lennon

Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.

Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head

I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war -for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
John Lennon

You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
Image
You can go to church and sing a hymn, Judge me by the colour of my skin, You can live a lie until you die, One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
Image
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
John Lennon

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.
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

It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
John Lennon
Image
We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?

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.
