That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.

We should be trying to reach the young workers because that's when you're most idealistic and have least fear.

John Lennon 681 quotes

Like Paul Kraston said, all I...

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 681 quotes

Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I've always been politically ...

I've always been politically minded and against the status quo. It's pretty basic when you're brought up, like I was, to hate and fear the police as a natural enemy and to despise the army as something that takes everybody away and leaves them dead somewhere.

John Lennon 681 quotes

I'd like to incite people to ...

I'd like to incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.

John Lennon 681 quotes

It took me quite a long time ...

It took me quite a long time to realise that my maleness was cutting off certain areas for Yoko [Ono]. She's a red hot liberationistand was quick to show me where I was going wrong, even though it seemed to me that I was just acting naturally. That's why I'm always interested to know how people who claim to be radical treat women.

Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.

Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.

I am the eggman They are the eggmen! I am the walrus!

And, because my role in socie...

And, because my role in society - or any artist or poet's role - is to try to 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. And it's like that's the job of the artist in society, not to...they're not some alienated being living on the outskirts of town. It's fine to live on the outskirts of town, but artists must reflect what we all are. … If that's taken it too much on meself, I feel that artists are that - they're reflections of society... Mirrors.

Don't you think that the Beatles gave every sodden thing they've got to be the Beatles? That took a whole section of our youth - that whole period - when everybody else was just goofin' off we were workin' 24 hours a day!

John Lennon 681 quotes

It came in a vision - a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From this day forward you are Beatles with an A.' Thank you Mister Man, they said, thanking him.

John Lennon 681 quotes

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 681 quotes

The second political thing I did was to say 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus.' That really broke the scene, I nearly got shot in America for that. It was a big trauma for all the kids that were following us.

John Lennon 681 quotes

There were very few real folk...

There were very few real folk singers you know, though I liked Dominic Behan a bit and there was some good stuff to be heard in Liverpool. Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio or TV of real workers in Ireland or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.

John Lennon 681 quotes

The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'

My father and mother split and I never saw my father until I was 20, nor did I see much more of my mother.

Life is what's going on while your making other plans.

Now The Beatles are four separate people, we don't have the impact we had when we were together.
