We're trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks. And it's the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn't just inevitable to have violence. Not just war — all forms of violence. People just accept it and think 'Oh, they did it, or Harold Wilson did it, or Nixon did it,' they're always scapegoating people. And it isn't Nixon's fault. We're all responsible for everything that goes on, you know, we're all responsible for Biafra and Hitler and everything. So we're just saying "SELL PEACE" — anybody interested in peace just stick it in the window. It's simple but it lets somebody else know that you want peace too, because you feel alone if you're the only one thinking 'wouldn't it be nice if there was peace and nobody was getting killed.' So advertise yourself that you're for peace if you believe in it.

Additional quotes by John Lennon

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.

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.

"Бог

Бог е аршина,
с който да мерим
нашата горест.
Пак ще повторя:
Бог е аршина,
с който да мерим
нашата горест.
Не вярвам на магии,
не вярвам и на И-Дзин,
на Библията не вярвам,
не вярвам и на Хитлер,
и на Исус не вярвам,
не вярвам и на Кенеди,
не вярвам и на Буда,
не вярвам и на мантри,
не вярвам и на Гита,
не вярвам и на Йога,
не вярвам на Кралете,
не вярвам и на Цимерман,
не вярвам и на Елвис,
не вярвам и на "Бийтълс",
аз вярвам само в мен,
в Йоко и в мен.
Това е истина.
Сънят ни свърши -
какво да казвам?
Сънят ни свърши.
Вчера.
Аз бях тъкач на сънища,
но днес съм прероден,
аз бях и моржът,
днес само Джон е в мен,
и тъй, приятели,
ще трябва да се продължи.
Сънят ни свърши."
