John Lennon

I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn’t go around shouting about it.

John Lennon

I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.

John Lennon

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

I was different, I was always different. Why didn’t anybody notice me?

John Lennon

I’d always felt repressed. We were all so pressurised that there was hardly any chance of expressing ourselves, especially working at that rate, touring continually and always kept in a cocoon of myths and dreams.

John Lennon

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

I’ll probably be popped off by some loony.

John Lennon

I’m always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren’t that doable.

John Lennon

I’m an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.

John Lennon

I’m cynical about society, politics, newspapers, government. But I’m not cynical about life, love, goodness, death. That’s why I really don’t want to be labeled a cynic.
