"Love is the flower you've got to let it grow." - John Lennon

"It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man." - John Lennon

"Love is the answer and you know that for sure". - John Lennon

"Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans" - John Lennon (Beautiful Boy)

"Am I crazy or am I a genius? I don't think I'm either." - John Lennon

"I always was a rebel...but on the other hand, I wanted to be loved and accepted...and not just be a loudmouth, lunatic, poet, musician. But I cannot be what I am not." - John Lennon

"I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people." - John Lennon

"It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?" - John Lennon

"My defences were so great. The cocky rock and roll hero who knows all
the answers was actually a terrified guy who didn't know how to cry. Simple." - John Lennon

"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity." - John Lennon

"I'm not saying we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person, or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this." - John Lennon

"The writing of the Beatles, or John and Paul's contribution to the Beatles in the late sixties - had a kind of depth to it, a more mature, more intellectual approach. We were different people, we were older. We knew each other in all kinds of different ways than when we wrote together as teenagers and in our older twenties." - John Lennon

"We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship ... We were part of it and contributed what we contributed. I can't designate what we did and didn't do. It depends on how each individual was impressed by the Beatles or how our shock wave went to different people. We were going through the changes, and all we were saying was, it's raining up here, or there's land or there's a sun or we can see a seagull. We were just reporting what was happening to us." - John Lennon

"I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds big-headed, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it." - John Lennon

"We realized there's something wrong here, if everybody was upset by the fact that two people were naked." - John Lennon

"I was too scared to break away from the Beatles, which I'd been looking to do since we stopped touring. And so I was sort of vaguely looking for somewhere to go but didn't have the nerve to really step out into the boat myself, so I sort of hung around, and when I met Yoko and fell in love, my God, this is different than anything before. This is more than a hit record. It's more than gold. It's more than everything...When I met Yoko is when you meet your first woman, and you leave the guys at the bar, and you don't go play football anymore. Once I found the woman, the boys became of no interest whatsoever, other than they were like old school friends." - John Lennon

"In 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' I was visualizing Alice in Wonderland, an image of this female who would come and save me - a girl with kaleidoscope eyes who would be the real love of my life. Lucy turned out to be Yoko." - John Lennon

"Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip." - John Lennon

"We're all in a bag, you know?...I was in a pop bag, going round and round, in my own little clique. And she [Yoko] was in her own little avant-guarde clique, going round and round...So we just came up with the word. If you'd ask us what bagism is, we'd say, 'We're all in a bag, baby." - John Lennon

"If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or my music, then in that respect you can call me that...I believe in what I do, and I'll say it." - John Lennon

"People want peace. And you've got to sell it and sell it and sell it. So we do the bed-ins and they say, 'What? They're in bed? What's this?' And all we're doing really is donating our holiday. We get tired and it's...more convenient for us to stay in one spot than go around doing press conferences." - John Lennon

"Well, crying for it wasn't enough. The thing the sixties did was show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility." - John Lennon

"If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim. And once you've learned - swim!" - John Lennon

"Living is easy with your eyes closed..." - John Lennon

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." - John Lennon

"Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being posessed. 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 allowed to sleep. It's always in the middle of the night, or you're half-awake or tired, when your critical faculties are switched off. So letting go is what the whole game is. Every time you try to put your finger on it, it slips away. You turn on the lights and the cockroaches run away. You can never grasp them..." - John Lennon

"I don't intend to be a performing flea any more. I was the dreamweaver, but although I'll be around I don't intend to be running at 20,000 miles an hour trying to prove myself. I don't want to die at 40." - John Lennon

"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all." - John Lennon

"Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewellery." John Lennon, 1963 (Royal Variety Performance)

''Что такое жизнь барабанщика? Круговорот задниц: я сидел на последнем рубеже обороны и пытался задать ритм святым задницам. Вот вы вспоминаете The Beatles как милых и симпатичных людей, а мои воспоминания совсем другие: для меня The Beatles - три задницы. Потолще - Пола, ой простите, сэра Пола. Тощая - Джорджа, самая вертлявая - Джона. Правда, эхо из зала доносило их музыку и до меня, и, должен сказать, эти задницы писали отличную музыку!'' (Ринго Старр)

Я недавно прочла
"Это был легендарный человек ... Во время обеда . (Джон Леннон о себе )

Что ему, на затылки надо было пялиться?? На задницы интереснее))

I hope someday you'll join us аnd the world will be as one.

по-моему, одна из лучших фраз Джона Леннона.

А еще название их песни и альбома "Let it be".
Может это и не такое их любимое выссказывание, но что то в этом есть...

Точно..

a DREAM YOU DREAM ALONE IS ONLY A DREAM, A DREAM YOU DREAM TOGETHER IS REALITY - JOHN

Вроде ещё не было такого.
Во время первой поездки Битлз в Америку Брайан позвонил им из Лондона. Их диалог с Ринго:
- О чём вас спрашивали журналисты?
- Как обычно, о париках...
- Ну вы доказали, что не носите парики?
– Да, мы их сняли. :)

А ещё мне нравится фраза Пола (по-моему, из "Антологии"):
"…я бы хотел всегда смотреть на дождь глазами ребёнка…"

"...No longer riding on the merry-go- round
I just had to let it go"

"...а на вашей карусели я больше не катаюсь,
пусть скрипит без меня"
