More quotes by John Lennon
You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
John Lennon
Life is what happens when we are busy doing other things. Peace is not something you wish for it's something you make, something you do, something you are and something you give away.
John Lennon
I didn't leave the Beatles. The Beatles have left the Beatles, but no one wants to be the one to say the party's over.
John Lennon
Nothing really affected me until Elvis.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
John Lennon
Without a job all there is to life is boredom and insecurity.
John Lennon
There was never any question about it: we [with Yoko Ono] had to have a 50-50 relationship or there was no relationship, I was quick to learn.
John Lennon
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom Let it be.
John Lennon
I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.
John Lennon
The first line (of I Am The Walrus) was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
John Lennon
I can't play guitar, but I can sure make it howl.
John Lennon
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
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
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
