Let’s celebrate John Lennon‘s birthday with some great quotes.
– “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.”
– “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.”
– “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.”
– “He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.”
– “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 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.”
– “I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!”
– “I don’t know which will go first – rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity.”
– “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.”
– “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.”
– “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’.”
– “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.”
