John Lennon Love Quotations

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

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.

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.

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.

Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.

The more I see the less I know for sure.

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!

Everything is as important as everything else.

It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out.

Art is only a way of expressing pain.

I believe in everything until it's disproved.

Money can't buy me love.

All you need is love.

If there's anything that you want, If there's anything I can do, Just call on me, And I'll send it along with love from me to you.

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

Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are great examples of fantastic nonviolents who died violently. I can never work that out. We're pacifists, but I'm not sure what it means when you're such a pacifist that you get shot. I can never understand that.

We had one thing in common - we were in love. But love is just a gift, and it doesn't answer everything and it's like a precious plant that you have to nurture and look after and all that.

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.

Violence begets violence, you know. And you can't kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We'd have to kill off the government.

Why don't people believe us when we say we're simply in love?

I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.

Love is real, real is love, Love is feeling, feeling love, Love is wanting to be loved. Love is touch, touch is love, Love is reaching, reaching love, Love is asking to be loved. Love is you, You and me, Love is knowing, We can be. Love is free, free is love, Love is living, living love, Love is needing to be loved.

Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.

Happiness is just how you feel when you don't feel miserable.

I don't believe in yesterday, by the way.

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

I remember a time when everybody I loved hated me because I hated them.

Always remember this: 'A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses.'

Everything is clearer when you're in love.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

Before Elvis there was nothing.

It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love

Love, Love, Love. All you need is love. Love is all you need.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
