More quotes by John Lennon
I'm not really a career person I'm a gardener, basically.
John Lennon
Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.
John Lennon
Don't need a gun to blow your mind
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.
John Lennon
Please don’t spoil my day I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping.
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
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
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
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
I always like the studio best, once I got the hang of it and the control. I like it because it's complete control
John Lennon
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
John Lennon
If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.
John Lennon
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
John Lennon
I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.
John Lennon
You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate
John Lennon
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
