London, Mar 15, 2005 : Lyrics of the Beatles song All you need is love have been voted as the greatest words of all time in an internet poll and will adorn the walls of the arrivals walkaway at Luton airport.
The poll was conducted by Luton First which was set up to promote the Bedfordshire town, reports the BBC.
"The winning quotation is a great choice as the words will send out an immediate, positive and life affirming message to all visitors arriving in the UK at London Luton Airport," Paul Kehoe managing director of Luton Airport said.
According to the poll the top five words of all time are:
All you need is love- the Beatles "Unto Thine Own Self Be True" "All Journeys Begin With A First Step" "Never in the field of human conflict.."- Winston Churchill "Man does not live by bread alone"- the Bible
I love that The Beatles beat out the Bible. Heh, ironic.
I thought they weren't allowed to have religion in public places? It's not right that the Beatles beat out the Bible, but I'll shut up. I have been known to inadvertadly and accidentally start religious debates.
Anyways, it's cool. Great that the Beatles will be greeting thousands of people every day! I can't think of a better way to start or begin a journey.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
Wow, I guess the Beatles really ARE greater than Jesus.
Well, it's a great choice. All You Need Is Love is a universally important message and I'm glad that millions of people will start their journey by reading such a great message.
