life real love-life
Love is real, real is love.
inspirational thinking decision
Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.
hippie reflection artist
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
dream kids boys
As a kid I had a dream - I wanted to own my own bicycle. When I got the bike I must have been the happiest boy in Liverpool, maybe the world. I lived for that bike. Most kids left their bike in the backyard at night. Not me. I insisted on taking mine indoors and the first night I even kept it in my bed.
life war making-love
I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.
dream real awake
You're only awake when you realise you're awake and when you're dreaming, it is just as real, whatever happens is just as real - whether you actually do die in a dream or fulfil whatever you're doing in a dream, it's, there's nobody to tell me it isn't as real as this now, because how do you know?
dream people mind
What I'm trying to do is to influence all the people I can influence. All those who are still under the dream and just put a big question mark in their mind. The acid dream is over, that is what I'm trying to tell them.
important way taught
The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority.
sorry love-you mean
Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes.
music real real-you
The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.
christmas new-year years
A very Merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear.
inspirational thinking genius
When I was about twelve I used to think I must be a genius, but nobody's noticed. If there is such a thing as a genius, I am one, and if there isn't I don't care.
believe bad-day understanding
I still believe in peace, love, and understanding.
friendship best-friend song
I get by with a little help from my friends.
