At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.

More quotes by John Lennon
Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulations, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon
You can only breathe out if you breathe in.
John Lennon
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.
John Lennon
There is no denying that we are still living in the capitalist world. I think that in order to survive and to change the world, you have to take care of yourself first. You have to survive yourself.
John Lennon
In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
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
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
John Lennon
Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.
John Lennon
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon
Sarcasim is the lowest form of humor.
John Lennon
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
The whole thing died in my mind long before the rumpus started. We used to believe the Beatles myth just as much as the public and we were in love with them just the same way. But we were four individuals who eventually recovered our individualities after being submerged in a myth.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
Leave a space and something will fill it.
John Lennon
In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
John Lennon
