More quotes by John Lennon
I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.
John Lennon
I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
You can only breathe out if you breathe in.
John Lennon
There was never any question about it: we [with Yoko Ono] had to have a 50-50 relationship or there was no relationship, I was quick to learn.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.
John Lennon
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
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.
John Lennon
I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off.
John Lennon
If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim. And once you've learned - swim!
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
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
Life happens whilst you're planning other things.
John Lennon
I want it to sound like an orange.
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Without a job all there is to life is boredom and insecurity.
John Lennon
All the revolutions have happened when a Fidel or Marx or Lenin or whatever, who were intellectuals, were able to get through to the workers. They got a good pocket of people together and the workers seemed to understand that they were in a repressed state.
John Lennon
Avant-garde is French for bullshit
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
