Quote

You can go to church and sing a hymn, Judge me by the colour of my skin, You can live a lie until you die, One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.

John Lennon

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

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
John Lennon

I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
John Lennon

Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon

You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.

Imagine there's no varmints. It isn't hard to do.

They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.

I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen.
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

I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon
Image
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

We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.

You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
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
Image
As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much.
John Lennon

Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
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
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.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
