You can't cheat kids. If you cheat them when they're children they'll make you pay when they're sixteen or seventeen by revolting against you or hating you or all those so-called teenage problems. I think that's finally when they're old enough to stand up to you and say, 'What a hypocrite you've been all this time. You've never given me what I really wanted, which is you.

Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.

I was a working-class macho guy who was used to being served and Yoko didn't buy that. From the day I met her, she demanded equal time, equal space, equal rights.

John Lennon 681 quotes

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

John Lennon 681 quotes

Going to America increased th...

Going to America increased the build up on me, especially as the war was going on there. In a way we'd turned out to be a Trojan horse. The 'Fab Four' moved right to the top and then sang about drugs and sex and then I got into more and more heavy stuff and that's when they started dropping us.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I always was a rebel...but on...

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 681 quotes

I could still be forgotten when I'm dead. I don't really care what happens when I'm dead.

John Lennon 681 quotes

New York is what Paris was in the twenties. . . the center of the art world. And we want to be in the center. It's the greatest place on earth. . . I've got a lot of friends here and I even brought my own cash.

John Lennon 681 quotes

The continual awareness of what was going on made me feel ashamed I wasn't saying anything. I burst out because I could no longer play that game any more, it was just too much for me.

John Lennon 681 quotes

In the two books I wrote, even though they were written in a sort of Joycean gobbledegook, there's many knocks at religion and there is a play about a worker and a capitalist. I've been satirising the system since my childhood. I used to write magazines in school and hand them around.

John Lennon 681 quotes

The first drugs I ever took, ...

The first drugs I ever took, I was still at art school, with the group - we all took it together - was Benzedrine from the inside of an inhaler.

Leave a space and something will fill it.

John Lennon 681 quotes

When we got married, we knew ...

When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I had to really kill off all ...

I had to really kill off all the religious myths. In the therapy you really feel every painful moment of your life - it's excruciating, you are forced to realise that your pain, the kind that makes you wake up afraid with your heart pounding, is really yours and not the result of somebody up in the sky. It's the result of your parents and your environment.

John Lennon 681 quotes

When you're thirty-five, you ...

When you're thirty-five, you can't take as much booze ... and I always got a little violent on drink...So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it.

John Lennon 681 quotes

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
I'll say it again.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

John Lennon 681 quotes

As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I believe that God is like a ...

I believe that God is like a powerhouse, like where you keep electricity, like a power station. And that he's a supreme power, and that he's neither good not bad, left, right, black or white. He just is. And we tap that source of power and make of it what we will. Just as electricity can kill people in a chair, or you can light a room with it. I think God is.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I think middle-class people have the biggest trauma if they have nice imagey parents, all smiling and dolled up.

John Lennon 681 quotes

Sometimes you wonder, I mean ...

Sometimes you wonder, I mean really wonder. I know we make our own reality, and we always have a choice, but how much is preordained? Is there always a fork in the road, and are there two preordained paths that are equally preordained? There could be hundreds of paths where one could go this way or that way -- there's a chance, and it's very strange sometimes.
