As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much.

John Lennon

Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.
John Lennon

I'm really very embarrassed about my guitar playing, in one way, because it's very poor. I can never move but I can make a guitar speak.
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
I began to realise that we are all oppressed which is why I would like to do something about it, though I'm not sure where my place is.
John Lennon
Image
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me.
John Lennon
Image
We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon

We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.
