Inside the Mind of John Lennon

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

……

Being honest may not get you many friends but it’ll get you the right ones.
– John Lennon
……

“Count your age by friends, not
years. Count your life by smiles, not
tears.”
― John Lennon

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Imagine there’s no heaven,

its easy if you try,

No hell below us,

Above us only sky

Imagine if you can?”

But apparently John Lennon’s Dakota apartment in Mahattan was full of fur coats. The room  was kept specially chilled to maintain their beauty and usefulness.

The thing the Sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer, it just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

Will  the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? All the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.
