QUOTES

Be The Change
If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses and you're all beautiful. You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace. Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like.

Diversity
"And so Happy Christmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight."

Dreams
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."

Heroes
A working class hero is something to be.

Imagine a Better World
"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."

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

Love
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.

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

All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
-- John Lennon & Paul McCartney

NOW
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Peace
"All we are saying is give peace a chance..."

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

Reality
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."

War
"War is over! If you want it"
