John Lennon

"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."

"God is a concept by which we measure our pain."

"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace."

"The more I see, the less I know for sure."

"Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear."

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."

"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."

"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 live as one."

"There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme."

"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong."

"Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears."

"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."

"As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot."

"The more I see, the less I know for sure."

"Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty."

"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."

"You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!"

"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?"

"Everything is clearer when you're in love."

"One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside."
