John Lennon Quotes

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.

Love, Love, Love. All you need is love. Love is all you need.

…Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

„Сега Йоко се грижи за издръжката на семейството, тя се занимава със сделки и банкери. А аз станах „домакиня“.

I think the music reflects the state that the society is in. It doesn't suggest the state. I think the poets and musicians and artists are of the age - not only do they lead the age on, but they also reflect that age. [...] Like The Beatles. We came out of Liverpool and we reflected our background and we reflected our thoughts in what we sang, and that's all people are doing.

ВРЕМЕ ЗА ПОЧИСТВАНЕ

Слънце по лицето,
в лунен прах - водата.
Двамата със тебе
сме на нашто място.
Ангелите ни обичат,
в рая са си боговете
и оракулът предрече -
с теб извадихме късмета.
Ето че почва - нека да почне
времето за почистване.
(Да им покажем на тия как става!)
Виж, царицата в кантората
как брои парите.
В кухнята пък царя прави
медените питки.
И без дружби, без омрази
сме съвсем свободни.
Всичко е добре на борда
на пълната хармония.
Ето че почва - нека да почне
времето за почистване.
(Да им покажем на тия как става!)
Дето и да бродим,
винаги се връщаме.
Центърът на всичко
вечно ще е вкъщи.
Ангелите ни обичат,
в рая са си боговете
и оракулът предрече -
с теб извадихме късмета.

Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, "turn on and drop out, man" — because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.

What would you suggest I do? Give everything away and walk the streets? The Buddhist says, "Get rid of the possessions of the mind." Walking away from all the money would not accomplish that. It's like the Beatles. I couldn't walk away from the Beatles. That's one possession that's still tagging along, right?

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

- Значи, тя просто се смяфка, без да има някакъв спечален повод? - мъдро каза той.
- Да бе, туйто, чисто и просно - отвърна Ричард. - Сутрин, прокобед и вечер само се смяфка като смяхната.

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together

I want you to make love, not war — I know you've heard it before.

Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.

The Walrus was Paul!

Well, I don’t want to be king, I want to be real.
