A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
John Lennon
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon
All you need is love.
John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
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
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
John Lennon
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
John Lennon
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John Lennon
Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
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
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
John Lennon
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon
I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or my music, then in that respect you can call me that. I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon
If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John Lennon
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
John Lennon
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
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.
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
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.
John Lennon
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon
The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
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
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon
We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship.
John Lennon
We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
John Lennon
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon
You have to be a b*****d to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
John Lennon
You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.
John Lennon
