It’s amazing how low you go to get high.

It’s better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out.

John Lennon

It’s like breathing in; breathing out, you know? One withdraws and one expands. Tide in, tide out.

John Lennon

It’s no good having, being with people you can dominate all the time. Or being with someone who can dominate you all the time. Because either one is boring.

John Lennon

It’s not a new message: ‘Give Peace a Chance’– we’re not being unreasonable, just saying, ‘Give it a chance.’

John Lennon

It’s people who are going to change the government, it’s people’s minds that have got to be opened.

John Lennon

It’s pretty hard when you are Caesar and everyone is saying how wonderful you are and they are giving you all the goodies and the girls, it’s pretty hard to break out of that, to say ‘Well, I don’t want to be king, I want to be real.’

John Lennon

It’s weird not to be weird.

John Lennon

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

John Lennon

Lack of feeling in an emotional sense is responsible for the way some singers do our songs. They don’t understand and are too old to grasp the feeling. Beatles are really the only people who can play Beatle music.
