Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined...
I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one. And I believe it could be someday it's going to come.
