Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
Image
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

Everything they told me as a kid has already been disproved by the same type of “experts” who made them up in the first place.
John Lennon
Image
A Conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words.
John Lennon
Image
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.

How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
John Lennon
Image
All this bit about angels and all the different religions, it's based on something. I think anything's possible. I believe in everything until it's disproved.
John Lennon
Image
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
Image
The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.
John Lennon
Image
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
Image
I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
John Lennon
Image
Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
John Lennon
Image
You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
John Lennon
Image
You better get yourself together, darling, and join the human race.
John Lennon
Image
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
