Strawberry fields forever
John Lennon
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.
John Lennon
Love is a promise love is a souvenir.
John Lennon
The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.
John Lennon
Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.
John Lennon
Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
John Lennon
I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.
John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon
There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.
John Lennon
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
John Lennon
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
John Lennon
Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them
John Lennon
Look, I wasn't saying the Beatles are better than God or Jesus. I said 'Beatles' because it's easy for me to talk about Beatles. I could have said TV or the cinema, motor cars or anything popular and I would have gotten away with it.
John Lennon
The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'
John Lennon
Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
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
The lyrics stand today (1980). They're still my feeling about politics. I want to see the plan. I want to know what you're going to do after you've knocked it all down. I mean, can't we use some of it? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It's no good shooting people.
John Lennon
