Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.

More quotes by John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon
A more interesting question is not 'Why did they break up?' but 'Would they have gotten back together?' ... There's always a chance we'd work together again, but I can't see us touring. I just see us making records.
John Lennon
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
John Lennon
You better get yourself together, darling, and join the human race.
John Lennon
It looks like I'm going to be 40 and life begins at 40 - so they promise. And I believe it, too.
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
Life doesn't imitate art...it is art!
John Lennon
It's like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium. I felt like a hollow temple filled with many spirits, each one passing through me, each inhabiting me for a little time and then leaving to be replaced by another.
John Lennon
In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.
John Lennon
As I play the game of life, I try to make it better each and every day. And when I struggle in the night, The magic of the music seems to light the way.
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
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
Life is what happens when you make other plans.
John Lennon
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon
At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.
John Lennon
We want to go forward, but which way are we facing?
John Lennon
There are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes. But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.
John Lennon
