It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.
John Lennon

We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?
John Lennon
Image
In Western-style Communism we would have to create an almost imaginary workers' image of themselves as the father-figure.

I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.

I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore
John Lennon

If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon

Well, I just want him to grow up happy. That's the main thing.
John Lennon
Image
Mostly folk music is people with fruity voices trying to keep alive something old and dead. It's all a bit boring, like ballet: a minority thing kept going by a minority group.
John Lennon
Image
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
John Lennon
Image
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon

Nothing really affected me until Elvis.

Avant-garde is French for bullshit

After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent.
John Lennon
Image
When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head, in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don't know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us.

Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.
John Lennon
Image
The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.
John Lennon
Image
Life is what happens when we are busy doing other things. Peace is not something you wish for it's something you make, something you do, something you are and something you give away.
John Lennon
