Love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it; really look after it and nurture it. - John Lennon (1940 - 80): Man of the Decade, broadcast, 30 Dec 1969, ATV

愛は、めったに手に入らない植物みたいなもの。受け取るだけ受け取って棚の中にほったらかし、自分で何とかやって行くだろうなんて思ってるだけじゃ駄目なんだ。水をやり続けなきゃならないし、しっかり世話をして育てて行かなきゃならないんだ。 - ジョン・レノン (1940 - 80): 『60年代の顔』1969年12月30日放送 ATV(イギリス)
