If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I kept the first Rickenbacker I ever got, a little short-scale John Lennon-type model. And I've got a couple of 12-string models, which are really nice, and I've got a Pete Townshend model, which Pete gave me a few years ago. But that's about it. ~ Paul Weller
Lennon quotes by Paul Weller
It's hard to deny that an alarming number of those who stood for peace, not war, were either killed by deranged lone gunmen or else died in suspicious circumstances. We refer of course to the likes of JFK, Martin Luther King, Benazir Bhutto, Bobby Kennedy and John Lennon, to name but a few. ~ James Morcan
Lennon quotes by James Morcan
I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
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. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
My sister stood up, trembling, and I must admit that I expected her familiar sneer to have taken its usual place on her face. But all I could find there was unhappiness and fear. Fear of my reaction, perhaps. But when a person has lived a life like hers, a life of promiscuity, rootlessness, and substance abuse, resentment and fear tend to replace all reasonable and proper emotions, and the world becomes your enemy. ~ J. Robert Lennon
Lennon quotes by J. Robert Lennon
The whole thing died in my mind long before the rumpus started. We used to believe the Beatles myth just as much as the public and we were in love with them just the same way. But we were four individuals who eventually recovered our individualities after being submerged in a myth. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Like Paul Kraston said, all I ask in life is a water bed, a TV and a typewriter. Well, I'll just have an ordinary bed, a TV and a guitar. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard. ~ Yoko Ono
Lennon quotes by Yoko Ono
Of the many guests we welcomed to the Mickey Mouse Club, my absolute favorites were the Lennon Sisters. ~ Annette Funicello
Lennon quotes by Annette Funicello
As a child I did a lot of imaginary bits, you know. It depends on the individual, I enjoyed then knocking the nail in, I enjoy knocking nails in walls to hang pictures up, but I also enjoy thinking 'I'm gonna do that' but I actually won't do it, I enjoy imagining doing things just as much. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I'll buy myself some plastic water, I should have married Lennon's daughter. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Lennon quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent. ~ Brenda Lee
Lennon quotes by Brenda Lee
They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I still don't know how to express the really delicate personal stuff. People think that Plastic Ono is very personal, but there are some subtleties of emotions which I cannot seem to express in pop music, and it frustrates me. Maybe that's why I still search for other ways of expressing myself. Song writing is a limiting experience in some ways - writing down words that have to rhyme. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
We put a President up there, and then we set fire to him because he's not solving all our problems. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
In Hamburg the waiters always had Preludin - and various other pills, but I remember Preludin because it was such a big trip - and they were all taking these pills to keep themselves awake, to work these incredible hours in this all-night place. And so the waiters, when they'd see the musicians falling over with tiredness or with drink, they'd give you the pill. You'd take the pill, you'd be talking, you'd sober up, you could work almost endlessly - until the pill wore off, then you'd have to have another. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Life is what happens when you make other plans. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
People never grasp the fact that they're going to have to go through the same thing again. They get to the sort of five-year stretch or the seven-year itch or whatever these tension points are that seem to be organic, built in, like the tide coming in and going out. It's like every time the tide goes out you quit
you move your house or something. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
When I was singing about 'All You Need Is Love' I was talking about something I hadn't experienced. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Life is what happens to you whilst you busy making other plans ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I don't meditate in any formal way, but I often lie in bed or find myself in nature and enter into that state of quiet where I get images, feelings, or melodies. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian 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
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Imagine having a disease so overwhelming that your mind causes you to want to murder yourself. Imagine having a malignant disorder that no one understands. Imagine having a dangerous affliction that even you can't control or suppress. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine the estate of John Lennon not suing me for using that last line. Then imagine that same (often fatal) disease being one of the most misunderstood disorders ... one that so few want to talk about and one that so many of us can never completely escape from. ~ Jenny Lawson
Lennon quotes by Jenny Lawson
Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God; it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
You're jeans are full of crap. You're full of beans, you're in you teens. You've lost your mama's road map. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Yes, I am complimented on my work in Kids in the Hall once or twice a week. It's a nice feeling. ~ Thomas Lennon
Lennon quotes by Thomas Lennon
Some people say it's a when you get older fans the kids don't like you. It's true. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
A working class hero is something to be. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Music is everybody's business. It's only the publishers who think people own it ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
In both word and deed, one of the greatest idlers of all time was John Lennon. In his songs we see repeated defences of simply lying around doing nothing. ~ Tom Hodgkinson
Lennon quotes by Tom Hodgkinson
I truly miss the genius of the music of John Lennon, as I'm sure everybody does. ~ Peter Fonda
Lennon quotes by Peter Fonda
Nor do I think we came from monkeys, by the wayThat's another piece of garbage. What the hell's it based on? We couldn't've come from anything-fish, maybe, but not monkeys. I don't believe in the evolution of fish to monkeys to men. Why aren't monkeys changing into men now? It's absolute garbage. It's absolutely irrational garbage, as mad as the ones who believe the world was made only four thousand years ago, the fundamentalists. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Please rehearse new material," Brian's telegram said. They chose to interpret this as "please write new material" and, in this instant, the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership was effectively reborn. ~ Mark Lewisohn
Lennon quotes by Mark Lewisohn
We gave up everything just to sit at your table. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
In the '60s, I used to love rock magazines; I'd cut out pictures of Bob Dylan and John Lennon. ~ Patti Smith
Lennon quotes by Patti Smith
Yoko had 10 years and I had 10 years and I would rather have had the 10 years I had than the ones she did. I had the raw talent and the raw human being, before the sycophants arrived. ~ Cynthia Lennon
Lennon quotes by Cynthia Lennon
Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
John Lennon was a musical genius. All I have to do is think of some of his songs and even the titles make me feel good ... and I'm not the only one. His music has crossed cultures and even generations. ~ Ray Comfort
Lennon quotes by Ray Comfort
I've been reading [Nikita] Khrushchev Remembers. I know he's a bit of a lad himself - but he seemed to think that making a religion out of an individual was bad; that doesn't seem to be part of the basic Communist idea. Still people are people, that's the difficulty. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I smoked 20 cigarettes to get that sound because I'd read that John Lennon smoked a load of cigarettes on "Twist and Shout". ~ Steve Diggle
Lennon quotes by Steve Diggle
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Wonder Woman was my first love, and now she's [Charlotte Kemp Muhl) my last. ~ Sean Lennon
Lennon quotes by Sean Lennon
Chloe Carlson: But don't think I'm all alone without Lennon. Oh, no. I'll be perfectly fine. I still have my friends, Ben and Jerry.
Riley Carlson: They're my friends too! ~ Megan Stine
Lennon quotes by Megan Stine
Lennon was not very fond of me. Lennon didn't like to be around somebody else who was likely to be the center of attention and didn't like being on deck with somebody who was intellectually as hot as he was. ~ Peter Fonda
Lennon quotes by Peter Fonda
The thing you must remember is that I'm the Number One John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him ~ Paul McCartney
Lennon quotes by Paul McCartney
I'm not really a career person; I'm a gardener, basically. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
If John Lennon was right that life is what happens when you're making other plans, parenthood is what happens when everything is flipped over and spilling everywhere and you can't find a towel or a sponge or your "inside" voice. ~ Kelly Corrigan
Lennon quotes by Kelly Corrigan
I realise myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy, and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian Lennon
I just sat all night looking at him, saying, 'Wow, it's incredible.' When Yoko woke up, I told her, 'He's fine,' and we cried. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Lennon and McCartney have the best catalogue of songs ever produced. It will never be surpassed. ~ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Lennon quotes by Bjorn Ulvaeus
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone. ~ Annie Leibovitz
Lennon quotes by Annie Leibovitz
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I'll probably be popped off by some loony. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
That radicalism (of the '70s) was phony, really, because it was out of guilt. I'd always felt guilty that I made money, so I had to give it away or lose it. I don't mean I was a hypocrite. When I believe, I believe right down to the roots. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Did you ever stop to thnk about all the people we kill? They're always people who tell us to live together in harmony and try to love one another: Jesus, Ghandi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, John Lennon. They all said: 'Try to live together peacefully.' BAM! Right in the f
in head! Aparently we're not ready for that! ~ George Carlin
Lennon quotes by George Carlin
Nobody loves you when you're down and out. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past. I think of it only inasmuch as it gave me pleasure or helped me grow psychologically. That is the only thing that interests me about yesterday. I don't believe in yesterday, by the way. You know I don't believe in yesterday. I am only interested in what I am doing now. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I like music because it's the only invisible art form. ~ Sean Lennon
Lennon quotes by Sean Lennon
I was a great one as a kid for standing and just looking out a window for hours and hours and hours. Now the TV does that for me, except for the view changes immensely. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
The USA marketing team are geniuses at what they do. They do the right kind of thing for every medium. They're very active on social media; they're releasing videos every day up to the premiere. ~ Lennon Parham
Lennon quotes by Lennon Parham
My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian Lennon
I only have one idol: John Lennon. ~ Michael Hirst
Lennon quotes by Michael Hirst
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
After The Beatles came on the scene everyone started putting on a Liverpudlian accent. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian Lennon
Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world but he could never show it to his wife and son. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian Lennon
Writing studio movies is the best job in the world ... it's awesome. ~ Thomas Lennon
Lennon quotes by Thomas Lennon
It doesn't matter who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it only matters that you love! ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
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
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I sat belonely

I sat belonely down a tree,
humbled fat and small.
A little lady sing to me
I couldn't see at all.

I'm looking up and at the sky,
to find such wondrous voice.
Puzzly puzzle, wonder why,
I hear but have no choice.

'Speak up, come forth, you ravel me',
I potty menthol shout.
'I know you hiddy by this tree'.
But still she won't come out.

Such softly singing lulled me sleep,
an hour or two or so
I wakeny slow and took a peep
and still no lady show.

Then suddy on a little twig
I thought I see a sight,
A tiny little tiny pig,
that sing with all it's might.

'I thought you were a lady'.
I giggle, - well I may,
To my suprise the lady,
got up - and flew away. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I don't miss it. I'm glad it happened, but I don't miss it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Reporter lady: What's that color? John: Hm. I'd call this a color! ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy.
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true. ~ Sean Lennon
Lennon quotes by Sean Lennon
I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I was trying to say something about Christianity, the idea that you have to be tortured to attain heaven. I didn't believe that. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
My mum is in a mental hospital. There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Winston Churchill, Mozart, John Lennon. These people all had a touch of crazy that fuelled their brilliance. They were not locked up for it like my mum. Pft. Then again, Winston Churchill never tried to kill my dad. ~ Christopher Titus
Lennon quotes by Christopher Titus
They want to hold onto something they never had in the first place. Anybody who claims to have some interest in me as an individual artist or even as part of the Beatles has absolutely misunderstood everything I ever said if they can't see why I'm with Yoko. And if they can't see that, they don't see anything. They're just jacking off to - it could be anybody. Mick Jagger or somebody else. Let them go jack off to Mick Jagger, okay? I don't need it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
You can draw a line between what I'm interested in and what I'm not interested in. On one side you can name Dylan and Lennon, who observe the world and have feelings, and write songs directly from those feelings. On the vapid side you have pop groups who need material and write songs to fill the hole, rather than getting somebody else. ~ Roger Waters
Lennon quotes by Roger Waters
You better get yourself together, darling, and join the human race. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
I felt that film (Let It Be) was set up by Paul for Paul. That is one of the main reasons the Beatles ended. I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul. After Brian died, that's what happened, that's what began to happen to us. The camera work was set up to show Paul and not anybody else. And that's how I felt about it. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Being a movie star is stressful as hell. You've got to do crunches all day long. You've got to get up and learn lines. ~ Thomas Lennon
Lennon quotes by Thomas Lennon
Of course it's difficult to know what the workers are really thinking because the capitalist press always only quotes mouthpieces like Vic Feather anyway. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
What I hate is when you're wearing something and you feel it on your body. I hate that. ~ Sean Lennon
Lennon quotes by Sean Lennon
I think maybe what happened was the convenience of technology overshadowed the experience of holding an album in your hands, and sitting on your bedroom floor, and staring at a picture of John Lennon or Gene Simmons or Johnny Rotten. That tangible experience can sometimes become an even more emotional experience, because it's really happening. ~ Dave Grohl
Lennon quotes by Dave Grohl
I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge. ~ Sean Lennon
Lennon quotes by Sean Lennon
For me my work is always being compared to my heritage. It has been quite a challenge unto itself just to drop into my voice and develop my individuated sound. ~ Julian Lennon
Lennon quotes by Julian Lennon
I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
Love is a flower you got to let it grow. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
There was so long from when we did the pilot and then when the show was eventually picked up by Comedy Central - and, in fact, we had to shoot the pilot twice. ~ Thomas Lennon
Lennon quotes by Thomas Lennon
We were cowards when we sacked him. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
My father and mother split and I never saw my father until I was 20, nor did I see much more of my mother. ~ John Lennon
Lennon quotes by 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
Lennon quotes by John Lennon
