More quotes by John Lennon

Image
One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were . . . . It happened bit by bit, until . . . you're doing exactly what you don't want to do with people you can't stand -- the people you hated when you were ten.
John Lennon
Image
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
Image
I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono. Paul and me were the Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.
John Lennon
Image
I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
John Lennon
Image
I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control
John Lennon
Image
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
Image
Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don't understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
John Lennon
Image
It's like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium. I felt like a hollow temple filled with many spirits, each one passing through me, each inhabiting me for a little time and then leaving to be replaced by another.
John Lennon
Image
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
Image
I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
John Lennon
Image
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map.
John Lennon
Image
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
Image
If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don't go after it.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.
John Lennon
Image
The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon
Image
There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
