Quotes by 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 only the interpretations that went wrong.
We've got to face it, we're living in a world where we're all pretty much strangers.
The world is a beautiful place to be born into if you don't mind some people dying all the time or if you don't mind a happy accident once in a while.
We're all just walking around, and we're all just trying to make sense of it all.
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
The only way to get to heaven is to raise hell.
When you do something beautiful and nobody notices, don't be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it'll always get you the right ones.
We live in a world where we're supposed to be happy, but we're not.
I'm a most successful failure.
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me.
The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees; I want money, that's what I want.
As I get older, I find that I'm more and more interested in the spiritual side of things.
I'm not trying to be a guru or anything. I'm just trying to be myself.
We're all just trying to find our way home.
The truth is, we're all just a bunch of scared kids trying to figure out what's going on.
Love is a verb. Love is the feeling of being loved.
You have to be a human being first, and then you can be a musician.
The world is a stage, and we are merely players.
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
