John Lennon's quotes

Will all the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? All the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry. [At Royal Variety Performance 4th November 1963]
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
We're all Christ and we're all Hitler. We are trying to make Christ's message contemporary. We want Christ to win. What would he have done if he had advertisements, T.V., records, films and newspapers? The miracle today is communication. So Let's use it.
Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes.
My defenses were so great. The cocky rock and roll hero who knows all the answers was actually a terrified guy who didn't know how to cry. Simple.
I've made two 'discoveries' in my life: Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. I think that's a pretty damned good choice.
(on reconciling with Yoko in 1975, after more than a year apart) The separation didn't work out.
(late 1960s) My name's not John Beatle, it's John Lennon.
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.
If everybody wished for peace instead of another television set, then there would be peace.
The more I see, the less I know for sure.
Elvis really died the day he joined the army. That's when they killed him, and the rest was a living death.
Before Elvis there was nothing
[Asked by a reporter if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world]: In the world? He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.
(on meeting his teenage crush, Brigitte Bardot, in 1968) I was on acid, and she was on her way out.
Well, we all know about "Yesterday. I have had so much accolade for "Yesterday. That is Paul's song, of course, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful - and I never wished I had written it. [From the 1980 Playboy Interviews]
My wife forced me to become avant-garde when all I wanted to be was Tom Jones.
(on hearing that Elvis Presley had died) Elvis dies and his manager lives. Our manager died and we lived.
(about the song "Help!") I was eating and drinking like a pig, and I was fat as a pig, dissatisfied with myself, and subconsciously I was crying for help. It was my fat Elvis period.
Eternity is a hell of a long time.
(at a 1971 rally) OK, so Flower Power didn't work. So what?! We start again.
[on the song "Mother"] A lot of people thought it was just about my parents, but it's about ninety-nine percent of the parents, alive or half-dead.
Music is everybody's possession. It's only lawyers who think you can buy and sell it.
I'm often afraid, and I'm not afraid to be afraid, though it's always scary. But it's more painful to try not to be yourself.
People think The Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.
I'm not going to waste my life as I have been, which was running at 20,000 miles an hour. I have to learn not to do that, because I don't want to die at 40.
When I used to see cowboys-and-Indians films when I was a kid in Liverpool, I was always on the side of the Indians.
We're not the first to say, 'Imagine no countries' or 'Give peace a chance,' but we're carrying that torch, like the Olympic torch, passing it from hand to hand, to each other, to each country, to each generation. That's our job.
I don't belong to any left wing, right wing, middle wing, Black Panthers, white Christians, Protestants, Catholics or nothing.
[In his last-ever interview on the day he was murdered, December 8th 1980] I consider that my work won't be finished until I'm dead and buried and I hope that's a long, long time.
Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who controls me is me, and that's just barely possible.
[Offered mange-tout peas, in a high-class restaurant] Can you put them over there, away from the food?
Sex is the only kind of exercise I bother with.
[on his father Alfred showing up after the Beatles hit it big]: It was the second time in my life I'd seen him - I wasn't having him in the house.
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. We're more popular than Jesus now - I don't know which will go first, rock and roll or Christianity.
Here I am in my Hansel and Gretel house, famous and loaded, and I can't go anywhere. There's something else I'm going to do, only I don't know what it is, but I do know this isn't it for me.
The Beatles haven't got any magic you haven't got. We suffer like hell anytime we make anything, and we got each other to contend with. Imagine working with The Beatles, it's tough.
I will need to be a lot older before I can face in public the way I treated women as a youngster. (1980)
Without James Dean, the Beatles would have never existed.
[on why he chose to publicly apologize for his "Jesus" comments] I couldn't go away knowing I'd created another little piece of hate in the world.
[on The Beatles] We were the sons of The Goon Show (1968). We were the extension of that rebellion, in a way.
He's not technically good, but I think Ringo's drumming is underrated the same way Paul's bass-playing is underrated.
If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
You gotta remember, establishment, it's just a name for evil. The monster doesn't care whether it kills all the students or whether there's a revolution. It's not thinking logically, it's out of control.
The best record you can make is recorded on Monday, cut on Tuesday, pressed up on Wednesday, packaged on Thursday, distributed on Friday, in the shops on Saturday.
I'lll be named Matthew Edward Hall in my next life. - John Lennon
When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they got you violent, then they know how to handle you.
[on Judy Garland] Show us your wrists, Judy!
If it's a choice between the IRA and the British army, I'm with the IRA. But if it's a choice between violence and nonviolence, I'm with non-violence. So it's a very delicate line.
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
