Original Note:
Inaccurate: “ Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" can be traced back to an issue of Reader’s Digest magazine dated January 1957, not to John Lennon. Lennon's song, "Beautiful Boy", was released in 1980. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/john-lennon-life-happens-quote/ https://www.rd.com/article/life-quotes/#:~:text=27.%20%E2%80%9CLife%20is%20what%20happens%20to%20us%20while%20we%20are%20making%20other%20plans.%E2%80%9D%20%E2%80%94Allen%20Saunders%20(January%201957)
