Quote

There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon

I get by with a little help from my friends.
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.

Remember to let her into your heart.

As a kid I had a dream - I wanted to own my own bicycle. When I got the bike I must have been the happiest boy in Liverpool, maybe the world. I lived for that bike. Most kids left their bike in the backyard at night. Not me. I insisted on taking mine indoors and the first night I even kept it in my bed.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

One thing I can tell you is you have to be free. Come together, right now, over me.

The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.

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.

I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.
John Lennon

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

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

How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon

That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots.
John Lennon

Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
John Lennon

if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!

There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

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.
