You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.
John Lennon
Leave a space and something will fill it.
John Lennon
The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.
John Lennon
We thought being offered the M.B.E. [Member of the Order of the British Empire] was as funny as everybody else thought it was. Why? What for? We didn't believe it. It was a part we didn't want. We all met and agreed it was daft.
John Lennon
Remember to let her into your heart.
John Lennon
And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it! Do that again!' In those days we really used to absolutely write like that - both playing into each other's noses.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Elvis.
John Lennon
Getting out of one car and getting into another
John Lennon
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
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
John Lennon
I love commercial music! I can dissect it and criticize it with any critic in the business. But without any thought, I just enjoy it. It's folk music. That's what I'm doing, folk music. I'm not intellectualizing it . . . and making it into a phoney art form. I'm just doing the music I enjoy.
John Lennon
These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.
John Lennon
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Love is the Answer. What was the Question?
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
At the (record company) meeting Paul just kept mithering on about what we were going to do, so in the end I just said, 'I think you're daft. I want a divorce.'
John Lennon
You're born in pain and pain is what we're in most of the time. And I think that the bigger the pain, the more gods we need.
John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
John Lennon
The Beatles were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all.
John Lennon
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
John Lennon
