John Lennon

I'm not trying to be a guru or a leader. I'm just trying to be myself.

I don't believe in yesterday, I believe in today.

I'm a very insecure person. I'm very insecure about my talent. I'm very insecure about my appearance. I'm very insecure about everything.

I'm not a saint. I'm not a sinner. I'm just a guy who makes music.

I'm just a human being who's trying to make a living and trying to make some sense of this crazy world.

I'm not a leader. I'm a follower. I follow my heart.

I'm not a spokesman for a generation. I'm a spokesman for myself.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

I'm not a politician, I'm an artist. I'm not a politician, I'm a musician.

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.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

The thing is, I'm a rock 'n' roller. I'm not a folk singer. I'm not a jazz musician. I'm a rock 'n' roller. And I'm proud of it.

Reality is something you rise above.

I am a most unhappy man. I am a most unhappy man. I am a most unhappy man. I am a most unhappy man.

Art is only a way of expressing yourself. It's not a way of making money.

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.

All you need is love.

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

I'm not going to change the world. I'm just going to change me.

Being honest may not get you many friends, but it'll always get you the right ones.
