"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." "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." "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." "You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!" "If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." Just a few of them.

"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?"
~John Lennon

I love this one:
"As usually, always there's a great woman behind every idiot"

I think there's a quote of him somewhere, I got it from the Dutch anthology book and it says something about the possibility of not being abled to be the same as the other people, that you aren't like them just because you don't want to, but because you can't... I'd like to have that in English!
Oh, and for legality:
Life is what happens while you're busy doing other things.

That quote should be in the English anthology, then. I'll have a look later and see if I can find it.

Is it this one? (If not, it's still a good quote anyway.)
"I always was a rebel because of whatever sociological thing gave me a chip on the shoulder. But on the other hand, I want to be loved and accepted. That's why I’m on stage, like a performing flea. Because I would like to belong. Part of me would like to be accepted by all facets of society and not be this loudmouth, lunatic, poet/musician. But I cannot be what I'm not. What the hell do you do? You want to belong, but you don't because you cannot belong."

"We were four guys... I met Paul and said 'You want to join me band?' you know. Then George joined and then Ringo joined. We were just a band who made it very, very big, that's all."
John Lennon to Jann Wenner in the rolling stone interviews.

"I still believe in Love peace positive thinking while there's life there's hope because I like to consider my work on peace and I consider my work won't be finished till I'm dead and buried and I hope that's a long time."

"The main thing is not to think of the future or the past. The main thing is to just get on with now." "Success is something I can take or leave. But I suppose you have to take it before you can decide to leave it." "Every time I kiss her, I burn my chin..." (complaining about Yoko's smoking )

I saw this one on a friend's Myspace.
"It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love. It matters only that you love."
