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

I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
Image
Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon
Image
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon

In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
John Lennon
Image
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

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
Image
But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.

Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don’t expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.

John Lennon
Image
What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.
John Lennon
Image
We're crazy about this city. Los Angeles? That's just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.
John Lennon

When you cross the street, take my hand
John Lennon
Image
As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.

Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
Image
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.
