More quotes by John Lennon
Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
John Lennon
Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.
John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.
John Lennon
I'm not really a career person I'm a gardener, basically.
John Lennon
You can only breathe out if you breathe in.
John Lennon
The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.
John Lennon
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
John Lennon
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
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
To begin with, working class people reacted against our openness about sex. They are frightened of nudity, they're repressed in that way as well as others. Perhaps they thought 'Paul [McCartney] is a good lad, he doesn't make trouble'.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Elvis.
John Lennon
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
John Lennon
Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
John Lennon
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.
John Lennon
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?
John Lennon
There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen. Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven... it's easy if you try.
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
