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.

More quotes by John Lennon

Image
I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem. I've had bad trips, but I've had bad trips in real life. I've had a bad trip on a joint. I can get paranoid just sitting in a restaurant I don't have to take anything.

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

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.

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

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.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

I'm a freakin' artist, man, not a (expletive) race horse.

In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days.
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.

Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.

Surrealism to me is reality. Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was.

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.

You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
