More quotes by John Lennon
I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
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
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can.
John Lennon
Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
John Lennon
Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.
John Lennon
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.
John Lennon
These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.
John Lennon
There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.
John Lennon
I want it to sound like an orange.
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution - but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
John Lennon
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
I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is.
John Lennon
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon
The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
John Lennon
