John Lennon

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Everything is clearer when you're in love.

All you need is love.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

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

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

The more that I see the less that I know for sure.

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do and I'll say it.

The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However few escape that distinction.

Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one.

When you're drowning you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me ' you just scream.

You have to be a bastard to make it and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

As usual there is a great woman behind every idiot.
