"If art were to redeem man, it..." - Quote by John Lennon

“I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.”

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.”

“It just was a gradual development over the years. I mean last year was 'all you need is love.' This year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' Give peace a chance, and remember Love. The only hope for us is peace. Violence begets violence. You can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. 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.”

“Taste is the common sense of genius.”

“Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.”

“No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.”

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”

“The ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together.”

“To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.”
