„Мечтая в одиночку, ты создаёшь лишь мечту. Мечтая вместе с кем-то, ты создаёшь реальность.“
Вариант: Если ты мечтаешь о чём-то один — это всего лишь мечта; если вы мечтаете об этом вдвоём — это реальность.
Вариант: Мечта, о которой ты мечтаешь, - это только мечта.
Мечта, о которой вы мечтаете вместе, - это реальность.
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
A line written by Ono many years before, and quoted by Lennon in December 1980, as quoted in All We Are Saying : The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono (2000) by John Lennon, Yōko Ono, David Sheff, p. 16.

“Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All I know is we're here today.”
"Never Say Goodbye" on It's Alright (I See Rainbows) (1982).
Контексте: Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All I know is we're here today. I've got nightmares I could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.
Вариант: We're all water from different rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet,
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Someday we'll evaporate together.

25 Things Even My Best Friends Didn’t Know Until Now (1 October 2009).
Контексте: In a day, sometimes I feel so much love for the world, I think my heart is bursting. Sometimes, I feel so scared, I want to shrink myself even further. I think that’s what happened to us gods and goddesses. Like the dinosaurs, we realized that it’s too dangerous to be so large. So we kept shrinking ourselves to what we are now. We might get even smaller. I see the sign in the engineers making smaller gadgets, smaller and smaller. Pretty soon, our fingers will be too large to operate them. So what are we doing? I trust in the human wisdom. We are incredibly intelligent beings. So we might know something without thinking that we know…. Well, even my best friend didn’t know until now that I was thinking of crazy things like this.

"Silver Horse" on Season of Glass (1981).
Контексте: I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day I saw a silver horse.
I thought he might take me to that somewhere high,
I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky. I came to realize that the horse had no wings.
No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know. I learnt to travel the world around
And run on the ground in the morning.
And that's the story of a wandering soul,
A story of a dreamer.
Quoted from: Yoko Ono - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Guru to Beatles and Beach Boys died in The Netherlands, RollingStone magazine, 6 Mars 2008. 1047, 16, n°1047 http://www.bienfaits-meditation.com/en/the_beatles_and_tm/john_lennon/john_and_yoko_2008
Контексте: If Lennon were alive today, he probably would have reconciled with the man he accused of having "made a fool of everyone." John would have been the first one now, if he had been there, to recognise and acknowledge what Maharishi has done for the world and appreciate it.
“Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price.
I'm throwing the dice in the air.”

Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?

And play the game of life with our hearts?

Power works in mysterious ways. You don’t have to do much. Visualise the domino effect And just start thinking PEACE.
The message will circulate faster than you think. It’s Time For Action. The Action is PEACE. Spread the word. Spread PEACE. I love you!
