Famous quotes containing the words lives, john and/or lennon:
“... if art speaks clearly about something relevant to people’s lives it can change the way they perceive reality.”
—Judy Chicago (b. 1939)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Life is what happens while you are making other plans.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
