Description
John Winston Ono Lennon (born John Winston Lennon, October 9, 1940, Liverpool – December 8, 1980, New York) was an English singer, songwriter, and peace activist who became world-famous as the founder and guitarist of the band The Beatles. The Lennon–McCartney songwriting duo remains the most successful in music history. In 1969, he formed the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, Yoko Ono. After The Beatles broke up in 1970, he continued as a solo artist and as a collaborator with Yoko Ono. He also made a name for himself as a painter, actor, and writer. He had a significant influence on the development of 20th-century rock music.
“You say, ‘I love the rain,’ but when it rains, you go and hide so you won’t get wet. You say, ‘I love the sun,’ but when it shines, you go and hide in the shade. I’m afraid that one day you’ll say to me, ‘I love you.’”
“If anyone thinks that peace and love are just clichés that should have been abandoned back in the ’60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”
“Don’t tear off the butterflies’ wings—they’ll cry afterward. Don’t trample on flowers—after all, they smell so beautiful. Don’t kill love—after all, love is as fragile as those flowers—and above all, don’t kill people—after all, people love one another.”
John Lennon
