More quotes by John Lennon
Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.
John Lennon
If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don't go after it.
John Lennon
Please don’t spoil my day I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.
John Lennon
I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.
John Lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees.
John Lennon
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
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
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
The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
There is not one thing that's Beatle music. How can they talk about it like that? What is Beatle music? Walrus or Penny Lane? Which? It's too diverse: I Want to Hold Your Hand or Revolution Number Nine?
John Lennon
The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon
