Quote

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

Mostly folk music is people with fruity voices trying to keep alive something old and dead. It's all a bit boring, like ballet: a minority thing kept going by a minority group.
John Lennon

Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon

Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head
John Lennon

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon

Get back to where you once belonged.
John Lennon

Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.
John Lennon

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon

I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
John Lennon

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
Image
They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.
John Lennon
Image
I found I was having continually to please the sort of people I'd always hated when I was a child. This began to bring me back to reality.
John Lennon
Image
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
John Lennon
Image
Sitting in an English Garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come You get a tan from standing in the English rain.
John Lennon
Image
When you cross the street, take my hand
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?
John Lennon
Image
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
Image
There are no problems, only solutions.
John Lennon
Image
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
Image
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
