More quotes by John Lennon
I felt an obligation even then to write a song that people would sing in the pub or on a demonstration. That is why I would like to compose songs for the revolution.
John Lennon
That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.
John Lennon
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.
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
That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.
John Lennon
I don't believe in Beatles.
John Lennon
There's nothing you can do that can't be done, Nothing you can sing that can't be sung, Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game, It's easy... All you need is love.
John Lennon
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off.
John Lennon
Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either.
John Lennon
I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul.
John Lennon
I used to say to my auntie, 'You throw my fu*kin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous,' and she threw the bast*rd stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a fu*kin' genius or whatever I was when I was a child.
John Lennon
paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness
John Lennon
Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.
John Lennon
A Conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words.
John Lennon
The idea of being a rock and roll musician sort of suited my talents and mentality. The freedom was great, but then I found out I wasn't free. I'd got boxed in...The whole Beatle thing is just beyond comprehension ... subconsciously I was crying for help.
John Lennon
The only reason I am a star is because of my repression. Nothing else would have driven me through all that if I was 'normal'.
John Lennon
It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.
John Lennon
Life's what happens when you're making other plans.
John Lennon
