All we are saying is give peace a chance.

And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.
|
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.
|
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
|
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 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 know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
|
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.
|
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 a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
|
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
|
Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulation's, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you.'
|
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
|
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?
|
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
|
The more I see the less I know for sure.
|
The older generation are leading this country to galloping ruin!
|
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
|
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.
|
The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
|
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
|
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
|
We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship.
|
We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
|
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 I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.
|
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.
|
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
|
You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
