I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution - but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.

More quotes by John Lennon
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
Sarcasim is the lowest form of humor.
John Lennon
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.
John Lennon
We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.
John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
John Lennon
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
John Lennon
Before Elvis there was nothing.
John Lennon
I wouldn't say I was a born writer I'm a born thinker.
John Lennon
Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.
John Lennon
I get by with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon
I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
A working class hero is something to be.
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
