In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.

More quotes by John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
John Lennon
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.
John Lennon
I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.
John Lennon
Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.
John Lennon
That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.
John Lennon
I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.
John Lennon
There were very few real folk singers you know, though I liked Dominic Behan a bit and there was some good stuff to be heard in Liverpool. Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio or TV of real workers in Ireland or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.
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
It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.
John Lennon
People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit--you move your house or something.
John Lennon
When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.
John Lennon
I don't want to be king, I want to be real.
John Lennon
I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
John Lennon
There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn't see.
John Lennon
Surrealism to me is reality. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was.
John Lennon
