"KISS V":
The more I see the less I know for sure. ~ John Lennon
"KISS IV":
"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." ~John Lennon
"KISS I":
"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong." ~ John Lennon
"KISS II":
"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." ~ John Lennon
