More quotes by John Lennon
Yoko [Ono] was well into liberation before I met her. She'd had to fight her way through a man's world - the art world is completely dominated by men - so she was full of revolutionary zeal when we met.
John Lennon
Love is a promise love is a souvenir.
John Lennon
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon
Ringo is Ringo, that's all there is to it. And he's every bloody bit as warm, unassuming, funny and kind as he seems. He was quite simply the heart of the Beatles
John Lennon
I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
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
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
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
As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening
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
Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.
John Lennon
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.
John Lennon
There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.
John Lennon
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
John Lennon
You can't give a child too much love and if you love somebody, you can't be with them enough. There's no such thing.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.
John Lennon
