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.

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

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 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.

I'm not a Beatle, I'm just John, and I'm not a Beatle anymore.

The best way to get over a woman is to get under another one.

I don't like the word 'fans.' I like the word 'friends.'

Everything is clearer when you're in love.

The only way to go is to go.

I'm just a guy who writes songs and sings them.

I'm not a guru. I'm just a guy who's trying to figure it out.

Art is only a way of expressing yourself. It's not a religion.

I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else, but I'm not saying I'm worse either.

The world is a beautiful place, and it's worth fighting for.

I'm not a politician. I'm just a guy who wants to see the world be a better place.

I'm not a saint. I'm just a guy who's trying to do his best.

I'm not a prophet. I'm just a guy who's trying to make sense of it all.

I'm not a philosopher. I'm just a guy who thinks a lot.

I'm not a leader. I'm just a guy who's trying to lead himself.

I'm not a teacher. I'm just a guy who's trying to learn.
