Love is the answer, and you know that for sure;
Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
- John Lennon

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.
- John Lennon

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.
- John Lennon

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands?

who you are or what you are.
You are what you are!

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

A dream you dream together becomes reality.

- 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.
- John Lennon

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.
- John Lennon

Guilt for being rich,
and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough

It's nine-tenths of the problem.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.
I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends
and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that.
That's what's insane about it.
- John Lennon

If you tried to give rock and roll another name,
you might call it "Chuck Berry."

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God,
I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal,

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.
- John Lennon

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

Music is everybody's possession.
It's only publishers who think that people own it.

You'd wake up in a concert and think,
Wow, how did I get here?

is to try and express what we all feel.

Not as a preacher, not as a leader,
but as a reflection of us all.

If being an egomaniac means I believe
in what I do and in my art or my music,

Surrealism to me is reality.

The basic thing nobody asks is
why do people take drugs of any sort?
Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live?
I mean, is there something wrong with society
that's making us so pressurized,
that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
- John Lennon

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.
- John Lennon

We Learn...
10% of what we read,
20% of what we hear,

70% of what we discuss,
80% of what we experience,
95% of what we teach others.

together forever and never apart,
maybe in distance, but never in heart.
