More quotes by John Lennon
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.
John Lennon
Happiness is a good vibe for peace.
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
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. ... Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.
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
Music is everybody's possession.
John Lennon
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help.
John Lennon
Get back to where you once belonged.
John Lennon
How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.
John Lennon
There is no denying that we are still living in the capitalist world. I think that in order to survive and to change the world, you have to take care of yourself first. You have to survive yourself.
John Lennon
Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go
John Lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
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
If there's anything that you want, If there's anything I can do, Just call on me, And I'll send it along with love from me to you.
John Lennon
I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.
John Lennon
Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
John Lennon
