"There is an alternative to war. It's..." - Quote by John Lennon

“We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship.”

“Nobody's ever tried the peace thing, ... We are selling it like soap.”

“The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'”

“I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.”

“Millions of mind guerrillas, raising the spirit of peace and love, not war.”

“We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam. So there came a time when George [Harrison] and I said 'Listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' That's what we did.”

“When armies are mobilized and issues joined, the man who is sorry over the fact will always win.”

“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.”

“Be at ease, not dis-ease.”
