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

John Lennon

A more interesting question is not 'Why did they break up?' but 'Would they have gotten back together?' ... There's always a chance we'd work together again, but I can't see us touring. I just see us making records.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon

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

I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control

Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
