Author of quotes: John Lennon



But don't count on me when it comes to violence. Don't expect me to climb the barricades - except with flowers. And if you have to overthrow something in the name of Marxism or Christianity, I want to know what you intend to do next, after everything is overthrown. I want to ask: Is nothing from our past useful to us? What's the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. What's the point of shooting people?

Yoko and I are quite willing to be the world's clowns, if by doing it we do some good. For reasons known only to themselves, people to print what I say. And I'm saying peace. We're not pointing a finger at anybody. There are no good guys and bad guys. The struggle is in the mind. We must bury our own monsters and stop condemning people. We are all Christ and Hitler. We want Christ to win. We're trying to make Christ's message contemporary. What would he have done if he had advertisements, records, films, TV and newspapers! Christ made miracles to tell his message. Well, the miracle today is communications, so let's use it.

You can wear shoes and suit, you can comb your hair and look pretty, you can hide your true face behind a smile, can go to the Church and to defend the masses can judge others by skin color, you can lie until you die, but you will never be able to hide the fact that you are a moral cripple.
