When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.
John Lennon

More quotes by John Lennon
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine, can't do you know harm to feel your own pain.
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
Strawberry fields forever
John Lennon
You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.
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
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
Nothing you can know that isn't known Nothing you can see that isn't shown Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be It's easy
John Lennon
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.
John Lennon
Elvis died the day he went into the army.
John Lennon
Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
John Lennon
I go to restaurants and the groups always play Yesterday. I even signed a guy's violin in Spain after he played us Yesterday. He couldn't understand that I didn't write the song. But I guess he couldn't have gone from table to table playing I Am The Walrus.
John Lennon
We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.
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
