I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.

More quotes by John Lennon
I used to say to my auntie, 'You throw my fu*kin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous,' and she threw the bast*rd stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a fu*kin' genius or whatever I was when I was a child.
John Lennon
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
When you're thirty-five, you can't take as much booze ... and I always got a little violent on drink...So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it.
John Lennon
You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?
John Lennon
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
John Lennon
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
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.
John Lennon
Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.
John Lennon
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.
John Lennon
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.
John Lennon
I believe Jesus was right, Buddha was right, and all of those people like that are right. They're all saying the same thing - and I believe it. I believe what Jesus actually said - the basic things he laid down about love and goodness - and not what people say he said.
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
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.
John Lennon
We were really professional by the time we got to the States we had learned the whole game. When we arrived here we knew how to handle the press the British press were the toughest in the world and we could handle anything. We were all right.
John Lennon
