You have to be a bastard to make it and The Beatles were the biggest bastards in the world!
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.
"When I was 12, I used to think I was a genius and nobody had noticed. If there such a thing as a genius, I am one, and if there isn't, then I don't care.
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace
Oh Lord, you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be, they way things are goin', they're gonna crucify me
You're in a fishbowl so make use of it, man.
I never listen to the radio. If it's bad, I make fun of it, and if it's good, I get jealous that I didn't think of it.
Imagine there's no country, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another.
You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story . That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.
It's just a song man, it doesn't mean anything
That you may see the meaning from within: It is being, it is being.
"I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me. I quote John Lennon.He was the walrus. I could be the walrus, but I'd still have to bum rides off of people."
