If there has ever been a band that changed the music scenario and history of popular music like none other in the centuries gone by, it has to be ‘The Beatles’. And ‘Beatles’ wouldn’t have been so had it not been for the famed singer-songwriter, John Lennon. A sheer musical genius, Lennon co-founded Beatles along with Paul McCartney thus starting a musical legacy that crossed continents and transpired success making the pop music what it is today. An aspirational musician since young, Lennon formed a ‘historical’ songwriting-partnership with McCartney that led the duo to lay roots of ‘Beatles’. In the years to follow, George Harrison and Ringo Starr joined in and gave Beatles its heart and soul. For more than a decade, Beatles dominated the pop culture and rock and roll so much so that the era is best remembered as ‘Beatlemania’. And much of the success of the Beatles came in due to the exceptional lyrics delivered by Lennon and McCartney. More than often, Lennon infused in his songs his political and peace activism. The same is also visible in his solo ventures that were crusades of his social campaigns. And not far behind are his quotes that portray his ideology and philosophy. Browse through this section and brief yourself with some of the best quotes by 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?
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.
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
