1. "Life is what happens when you are busy
making other plans."
2. "Time you enjoy wasting, was not
wasted."
3. "Music is everybody's possession. It's only
publishers who think that people own it."
4. "Only by trying on other people's clothes do
we find what size we are."
5. "Produce your own dream. If you want to save
Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it
on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Carter or 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."
6. "Declare it. Just the same way we declare
war. That is how we will have peace… we just need to declare it."
7. "Surrealism had a great effect on me because
then I realized that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me
is reality."
8. "When you do something noble and beautiful
and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful
spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps."
9. "Happiness is just how you feel when you
don't feel miserable."
10. "If everyone could just be happy with
themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly
be a better place!"
11. "You know the way people begin to look like
their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other."
12. "A mistake is only an error, it becomes a
mistake when you fail to correct it."
13. 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 just that the translations have gone wrong.
14. "The thing the sixties did was to show us
the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer.
It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility."
15. "…Christianity will go. It will vanish and
shrink. I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. We're
more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick
and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
16. "We live in a world where we have to hide
to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight."
17. "When I cannot sing my heart, I can only
speak my mind."
18. "You're all geniuses, and you're all
beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are.
Get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and
you'll get it as soon as you like."
19. I believe in everything until it's disproved. So
I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your
mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and
now?
20. "Everything is clearer when you're in
love."
21. "I'm not really a career person; I'm a
gardener, basically."
22. "Sometimes you wonder, I mean really
wonder. I know we make our own reality, and we always have a choice, but how
much is preordained? Is there always a fork in the road, and are there two
preordained paths that are equally preordained? There could be hundreds of
paths where one could go this way or that way — there's a chance, and it's very
strange sometimes."
23. "Peace is not something you wish for; It's
something you make, Something you do , Something you are, And something you
give away"
24. "Why in the world are we here? Surely not
to live in pain and fear. Why on earth are you there, when you're
everywhere-come and get your share."
25. "Creativity is a gift. It doesn't come
through if the air is cluttered."
26. "Our society is run by insane people for
insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I
think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's
insane about it."
27. "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 on watering it. You've got to really look after
it and nurture it."
28. "You don't need anybody to tell you who you
are or what you are. You are what you are!"
29. "There are no problems, only
solutions."
30. "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."
31. "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."
