Q: "You have attained sufficient honor and wealth. Are you happy?"
John: "Yes."
Q: "And what do you seek next?"
John: "Peace."
John Lennon
Beatles press conference, Tokyo, 1966
You know, give peace a chance, not shoot people for peace. All we need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
We're not the first to say, 'Imagine no countries' or 'Give Peace A Chance', but we're carrying that torch, like the Olympic torch, passing it from hand to hand, to each other, to each country, to each generation. That's our job.
John Lennon, 1980
What is wrong with war, is as Gandhi said.
"An eye for an eye will make us all blind".
I'd like to see the human race wake up to the danger and futility of war as soon as possible.
At the time, in the 60s, we thought we could change the world just like that! But it's taking a little bit more time!
Yoko Ono
Mix A Building And The Wind, 2002
The thing that bothered most of our revolutionary brothers was the fact that we weren't against anything, just for things, you know, like Peace and Love.
John Lennon
The Ballad of John and Yoko, 1978
We use advertising. Everybody in this country uses advertising, including politicians, the Biafrans, the Vietnamese, everybody. I use advertising to promote what I think. And I think 'peace'. So I promote it by using a technique called advertising...
John Lennon, 1969
All I want is the truth
John Lennon, 1971
