Quote

I'm cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I'm not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That's why I really don't want to be labeled a cynic.

John Lennon

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

The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, because we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.
John Lennon
Image
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
John Lennon
Image
The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
John Lennon

The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.
John Lennon
Image
It's no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.
John Lennon

Get back to where you once belonged.

Image
If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself.
John Lennon
Image
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.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another
John Lennon
Image
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...
John Lennon
Image
We're more popular than Jesus Christ now.
John Lennon
Image
I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.
John Lennon
Image
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can.
John Lennon
Image
Leave a space and something will fill it.
John Lennon
Image
You say you want a revolution? Well, you know. We all want to change the world.
John Lennon
Image
Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
John Lennon
Image
Remember to let her into your heart.

As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.
