John Lennon
You can only breathe out if you breathe in.
John Lennon
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
John Lennon
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
John Lennon
If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim. And once you've learned - swim!
John Lennon
[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time.
John Lennon
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
John Lennon
Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.
John Lennon
