John Lennon

My defenses were so great. The cocky rock and roll hero who knows all the answers was actually a terrified guy who didn’t know how to cry. Simple.

Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.

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

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? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.

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

Peace demands the united efforts of us all. Who can foresee what spark might ignite the fuse?

A happy and contented nation is an example to the whole world. Where there is contentment there must be peace.

Peace is a day-to-day problem, the product of a multitude of events and judgments. Peace is not an ‘is,’ it is a ‘becoming’.

A peaceful nation is one that has the means to make war and restrains.

The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man’s basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act – and if necessary, to suffer and die – for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.
