Life is what happens while you are making other plans.

By John Lennon

By John Lennon
Woman is the Nigger of the World.

By John Lennon
I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

By John Lennon
Imagine Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one.

By John Lennon
The joy is still there when I see Sean. 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 his things. But he is my biggest pride.

Life is what happens to you while you

By John Lennon
Music will be here now.

By John Lennon
You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. 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. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

By 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? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

By John Lennon
I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff; and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.

By 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.

By John Lennon
If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was ' Learn to swim. And once you've learned - swim! '

By John Lennon
We've been on our peace gig, as we call it, for a year solid. And people say, 'Do you think it's having any effect?' I can't answer that. It's like asking me in the Cavern, 'Are you gonna make it?' In the back of my mind I thought, I'm gonna make it, but I couldn't lay it on the line. And I think that peace is more tangible than Beatles.

By John Lennon
My role in society, or any artist 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.

By John Lennon
You won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it

By John Lennon
Would those of you in the cheaper seats clap your hands And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.

By 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.

By John Lennon
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.

By John Lennon
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.

By John Lennon
The reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up.

By John Lennon
the blues is a chair, not a design for a chair or a better chair . . . it is the first chair. It is a chair for sitting on, not for looking at. You sit on that music.

By John Lennon
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.

By John Lennon
Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes

By John Lennon
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

By John Lennon
Love is needing to be loved

By John Lennon
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
