This website has a list of many popular and/or famous quotes by John Lennon. These quotes help to give and indepth understanding into John Lennon's character and personality. Here are some of his famous quotes I found:
"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
"It is for others to judge. I am doing it. I do. I don't stand back and judge -- I do." - John Lennon
"You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate." - John Lennon
"But nobody's perfect, etc., etc. Whether it's Janov or Erhardt or Maharishi or a Beatle. That doesn't take away from their message. It's like learning how to swim. The swimming is fine. But forget about the teacher. If the Beatles had a message, it was that. With the Beatles, the records are the point, not the Beatles as individuals. You don't need the package, just as you don't need the Christian package or the Marxist package to get the message. People always got the image I was an anti-Christ or antireligion. I'm not. I'm a most religious fellow. I was brought up a Christian and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables. Because people got hooked on the teacher and missed the message. All this bit about electing a President. We pick our own daddy out of a dog pound of daddies." - John Lennon
"Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem." - John Lennon
"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." - John Lennon
These quotes are insightful, and really help me feel the character of John Lennon. These quotes are apart of what makes John Lennon so famous. These quotes are apart of what makes John Lennon.
