81 " Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones. "
― John Lennon
82 " Before Elvis there was nothing. "
83 " Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe. "
84 " There is an alternative to war. It's staying in bed and growing your hair. "
85 " Living is easy with eyes closedMisunderstanding all you seeIt's getting hard to be someoneBut it all works outIt doesn't matter much to me. "
86 " Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you have only waited for this moment to arise. "
― John Lennon ,
87 " Love is a flower you got to let it grow. "
88 " Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,They slither wildly as they slip away across the universePools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,Possessing and caressing me.Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,They call me on and on across the universe,Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter boxThey tumble blindly as they make their wayAcross the universeSounds of laughter shades of love areRinging through my open ears inciting and inviting meLimitless undying love which shines around me like a Million suns, and calls me on and onAcross the universe "
89 " The more real you get the more unreal the world gets. "
90 " We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight. "
91 " Make your own dream.That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story, that's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you. "
92 " There are places I'll rememberAll my life though some have changedSome forever not for betterSome have gone and some remainAll these places have their momentsWith lovers and friends I still can recallSome are dead and some are livingIn my life I've loved them all "
― John Lennon , Real Love: The Drawings for Sean
93 " It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love "
94 " I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. "
95 " Please don’t spoil my day; I’m miles away and, after all, I’m only sleeping. "
― John Lennon , Lyrics of John Lennon
96 " When I was about twelve I used to think I must be a genius, but nobody's noticed. If there is such a thing as a genius, I am one, and if there isn't I don't care. "
97 " There are no problems, only solutions. "
98 " When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind. "
99 " But I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko. There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. And we dig being together all the time. Both of us could survive apart but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love for any whore or any friend or any business, because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. And you can’t fill a bed with groupies. It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. I’ve been through it all and nothing works better than to have someone you love hold you. "
100 " Nobody loves you when you're down and out. "
