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.

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
Image
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
Image
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
Image
When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head, in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don't know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us.

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

Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.
John Lennon
Image
You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
John Lennon
Image
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
John Lennon
Image
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.

It depends who they are. If it's Mick (Jagger) or the Old Guard as I call them, yeah, they're the Old Guard. Elton (John), David (Bowie) are the newies. I don't feel like an old uncle, dear, 'cause I'm not that much older than half of 'em, hehe.

They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.
John Lennon
Image
Father, you left me, but I never left you.
John Lennon
Image
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
John Lennon
Image
I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past.
John Lennon
Image
In one way, I was always hip. I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things people didn't see. I always saw things in a hallucinatory way.
John Lennon
Image
I had a lot of it in my day, but I don't like it. It's a dumb drug. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. I find caffeine easier to deal with.
John Lennon
Image
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.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
