More quotes by John Lennon
I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
John Lennon
We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
John Lennon
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.
John Lennon
Love is real, real is love.
John Lennon

John Lennon
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
John Lennon
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
John Lennon
Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.
John Lennon
Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
John Lennon
I believe time wounds all heels.
John Lennon
Love is a promise love is a souvenir.
John Lennon
People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.
John Lennon
