John Lennon on Peace
← Back to John Lennon Profile
“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.”
“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 live as one.”
Amidst rising tensions, John Lennon, in promoting "Give Peace a Chance," delivered an impassioned message of unity and self-belief as the key to achieving immediate peace.
“Remember love. The only hope for any of us is peace. Violence begets violence. If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses and you're all beautiful. You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace. Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like. Okay?”
