The dream is over. I gotta get down to reality. The good old days is garbage.
John Lennon
Image
I didn't come after Elvis and Dylan, I've been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love 'em.

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.

You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?

It was very romantic. It's all in the song, The Ballad of John and Yoko. If you want to know how it happened, it's in there. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn't find a white suit - I had sort of off-white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.

Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
John Lennon

I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
John Lennon

I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon

When you're in love, when somebody says something like, How can you be with that woman? you say, What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?
John Lennon
Image
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
John Lennon
Image
I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.
John Lennon

Father, you left me, but I never left you.
John Lennon

There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
John Lennon

But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
