John Lennon

The album is about me and Yoko and the baby and our survival.

I'm just a guy who writes songs. I'm not a guru, I'm not a prophet, I'm not a leader.

I've always been a rebel, but I've always been a rebel with a cause.

It's weird, because I'm not a very political person. I just write about what I feel.

I'm not saying the Beatles are better than God, or Jesus. I'm saying the Beatles are better than the Pope.

You can laugh at me, but I'm not going to change.

I'm not a saint. I'm a human being. I make mistakes.

I don't mind being a fool for you.

Give peace a chance. It's not a slogan, it's a way of life.

I'm just a guy. I'm not a legend. I'm not a myth.

The main thing is to keep on moving, keep on grooving, keep on loving.

We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

Declare it. Just declare it. No guns. No bombs. No nothing. Everybody has to declare it. And then it's there.

I'm just a guy who writes songs and happens to be a Beatle.

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.

I'm not a Beatle, I'm John Lennon.

You're just a rich kid who got lucky.

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to the meaning of life. I've only claimed that there's a an answer, and that it's in all of us.
