“I just sat all night looking at him, saying, ‘Wow, it’s incredible.’ When Yoko woke up, I told her, ‘He’s fine,’ and we cried.” About Sean's birth "The joy is still there when I see Sean. He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all his things. But he is my biggest pride."

"I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo." "I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years."

  1980, the year Lennon was shot "I really thought that love would save us all." "Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that." "Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap." "We're trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks. And it's the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn't just inevitable to have violence. ...

“Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.” "People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine." "I was different, I was always different. Why didn't anybody notice me?"

"Nothing really affected me until Elvis." "Before Elvis there was nothing." "When I first heard "Heartbreak Hotel," I could hardly make out what was being said. It was just the experience of hearing it and having my hair stand on end. We'd never heard American voices singing like that. They'd always sung like Sinatra who enunciated well. Suddenly, there's this hillbilly hiccupping with echo and all this bluesy background going on. We didn't know what the hell

"Music's all right John, but you'll never make a living out of it." John Lennon's Aunt Mimi Smith "Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it." "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." “I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever’s going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.” "Before Cliff (Richard) and The Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music." "Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're a...

  "The whole thing died in my mind long before the rumpus started. We used to believe  the Beatles myth just as much as the public and we were in love with them just the same way. But we were four individuals who eventually recovered our individualities after being submerged in a myth."

John Lennon Quotes : "I don't bother so much about the others' songs. For instance, I don't give a damn about how 'Something' is doing in the charts -- I watch 'Come Together' (the flip side) because that's my song." "I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One

"What I'd have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame." "I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another."

"As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.” “It wasn’t that she inspired the songs. She inspired me.” "Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident." "It takes time to get rid of all this garbage that I've been carrying around that was influencing the way I thought and the way I lived. It had a lot to do with Yoko , showing me that I was still possessed. I left physically when I fell in love with Yoko, but mentally it took the last ten years of struggling. I learned everything from her. ... It is a teacher-pupil relationship. That's what people don't understand. She's the teacher and I'm the pupil. I'm the famous one, the one who's supposed to know everything, but ...
