"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
John Lennon had much to say, and he did not hold back. He was a man who thought he could change the world with his music and lyrics, and in many ways, he accomplished his goal.
"You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die."
John Lennon
The irony of John Lennon's death is in the violence and hatred he suffered. This man was all about peace and love.
"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 be as one."
John Lennon
In fact, he was not the only one; making martyrs of peace-lovers seems to be a pattern. Martin Luther King suffered a violent death after living a life with a purpose to bring peace. John F. Kennedy was attempting to make this world a better place as was Malcolm X. Both were violently shot and killed.
