&quot;It&#039;s weird, like, you can see the cruelest part of the world,<br /> the cruelest part.<br /> But then on the other side,<br /> you see the most beautiful part. Do ya know?<br /> It&#039;s like you go from one extreme to the next.<br /> And they&#039;re both worth it because you wouldn&#039;t see the one without the other one.<br /> But that cruel part is damn cruel and you&#039;ll never forget it.<br /> But that heaven<br /> is heaven.<br /> So it&#039;s like I&#039;ve been to both places.&quot;

&quot;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&#039;s just that the translations have gone wrong.&quot; ~John Lennon<br /> <br /> &quot;I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now?&quot; ~John Lennon<br /> <br /> &quot;When you&#039;re drowning, you don&#039;t say &#039;I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,&#039; you just scream.&quot; ~John Lennon
