Everything they told me as a kid has already been disproved by the same type of “experts” who made them up in the first place.
John Lennon
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom Let it be.
John Lennon
Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.
John Lennon
Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go
John Lennon
Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? No, I said, I can't be mad because nobody's put me away therefore I'm a genius. Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.
John Lennon
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were . . . . It happened bit by bit, until . . . you're doing exactly what you don't want to do with people you can't stand -- the people you hated when you were ten.
John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
John Lennon

John Lennon
Creativity is a gift. It doesn't come through if the air is cluttered.
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
I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that - not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.
John Lennon
We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.
John Lennon
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
John Lennon
I've never really been wanted.
John Lennon
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love
John Lennon
I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
