A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
All you need is love.
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
Happiness is a warm gun.
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
The more I see the less I know for sure.
The thing the sixties did was to 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.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
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 (October 9, 1940 - 1980)
