The Garden Party

Quote 3 - 2 - 12

12 years ago

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

John Lennon

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.

John Lennon

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.

John Lennon is definitely someone who was gone before "his time". Why are there always crazies to take the good ones away?

Thanks for his words of wisdom, Don.

John Lennon was a treasure, not appreciated by everyone until he was gone - as it happens so often.
Beautiful quotes, Don, thanks.
