I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!
John Lennon

When I started, rock and roll itself was the basic revolution to people of my age and situation. We needed something loud and clear to break through all the unfeeling and repression that had been coming down on us kids.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another
John Lennon

You better get yourself together, darling, and join the human race.
John Lennon
Image
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

I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.
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.

How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
Image
All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees.
John Lennon

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
John Lennon
Image
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon

If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
Image
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon

Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
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

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

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity.

Creativity is a gift. It doesn't come through if the air is cluttered.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.
John Lennon
