That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.

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

What weโ€™ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it weโ€™ll sink.

John Lennon

I enjoyed it when football crowds in the early days would sing 'All together now' - that was another one. I was also pleased when the movement in America took up 'Give peace a chance' because I had written it with that in mind really.

John Lennon

I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not.

John Lennon

We were really professional by the time we got to the States; we had learned the whole game. When we arrived here we knew how to handle the press; the British press were the toughest in the world and we could handle anything. We were all right.

John Lennon

Yoko [Ono] was showing me some of these Haiku in the original. The difference between them and Long fellow is immense. Instead of a long flowery poem the Haiku would say 'Yellow flower in white bowl on wooden table' which gives you the whole picture.

John Lennon

The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.

John Lennon

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

John Lennon

Nothing happened in the sixties except that we all dressed up.

John Lennon

People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.

John Lennon

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but itโ€™ll always get you the right ones

John Lennon

In the two books I wrote, even though they were written in a sort of Joycean gobbledegook, there's many knocks at religion and there is a play about a worker and a capitalist. I've been satirising the system since my childhood. I used to write magazines in school and hand them around.

John Lennon

It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?

John Lennon

The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.

John Lennon

I think a lot of bad things have happened in the name of the church and in the name of Christ. Therefore I shy away from church...

John Lennon

I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night

John Lennon

I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

John Lennon

My teacher asked me what I want to be when I grow up, I said happy. She told me I don't understand the assignment, I told her she doesn't understand life.

John Lennon

We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?

John Lennon

The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.

John Lennon

Everything is true and not true about everything. Thatโ€™s one thing Iโ€™ve learned.

John Lennon

I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever's going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.

John Lennon

I don't purchase records. I do enjoy listening to things like Japanese folk music or Indian music.

John Lennon

I believe that God is like a powerhouse, like where you keep electricity, like a power station. And that he's a supreme power, and that he's neither good not bad, left, right, black or white. He just is. And we tap that source of power and make of it what we will. Just as electricity can kill people in a chair, or you can light a room with it. I think God is.

John Lennon

Barney Kessel is incredible. He's just amazing . . . . Nobody can play guitar like that

John Lennon

Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? "No," I said, "I can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore I'm a genius." Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

John Lennon

There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen." "Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

John Lennon

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down โ€˜happyโ€™. They told me I didnโ€™t understand the assignment, and I told them they didnโ€™t understand life.

John Lennon

How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?

John Lennon

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.

John Lennon

Art is only a way of expressing pain.

John Lennon

There is no problem only solutions

John Lennon

"All you need is love." I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.

John Lennon

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

John Lennon

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

John Lennon

I'll probably be popped off by some loony.

John Lennon

We'd also have to infiltrate the army too, because they are well trained to kill us all.

John Lennon

You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now -โ€‹ and a Beatles record -โ€‹ and we've been way apart,โ€‹ you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.

John Lennon

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?

John Lennon

The trouble with government as it is, is that it doesn't represent the people. It controls them.

John Lennon

We never write anything with themes. We just write the same rubbish all the time.

John Lennon

All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees.

John Lennon

Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.

John Lennon

If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.

John Lennon

All the revolutions have happened when a Fidel or Marx or Lenin or whatever, who were intellectuals, were able to get through to the workers. They got a good pocket of people together and the workers seemed to understand that they were in a repressed state.

John Lennon

The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you. When the spinning stops - that'll be the time to worry. Not before.

John Lennon

It's pretty hard when you are Caesar and everyone is saying how wonderful you are and they are giving you all the goodies and the girls, it's pretty hard to break out of that, to say 'Well, I don't want to be king, I want to be real.'
