 All you need is love. |
| We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. |
| You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth. |
| We've got this gift of love, but 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 watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. |
| The more I see the less I know for sure. |
| There's nothing you can know that isn't known. |
| I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. |
| Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. |
| The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you. |
| 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? |
| I don't believe in killing whatever the reason! |
| If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. |
| When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream. |
| A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. |
| Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. |
| The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it? |
| 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. |
| If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'. |
| My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. |
| 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. |
