You can be standing right in front of the truth and not necessarily see it, and people only get it when they're ready to get it.

Didn't want to be a star, wanted just to play guitar in this cockamamie business.
George Harrison
Image
A mind that wants to wander around a corner is an un-wise mind. Now, is, be here now.
George Harrison
Image
Sunrise doesn't last all morning, a cloudburst doesn't last all day, seems my love is up and has left you with no warning. It's not always going to be this grey. All things must pass, all things must pass away.
George Harrison
Image
It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry, than it is to dry their eyes.
George Harrison

When people come up to me expecting me to be just like what they thought a Beatle would be, they're disappointed. I never was a Beatle, except musically. I don't think any of us was. What is a Beatle anyway? I'm not a Beatle or an ex-Beatle or even the George Harrison. I'm just a man. Very ordinary.

The purpose of life is to find out 'Who am I?', 'Why am I here?' and 'Where am I going?'

The media is to blame for everything, for all the misconceptions about the movement, but in a sense it didn't really matter if they said something good or bad, because Krishna consciousness always seemed to transcend that barrier anyway. The fact that the media was letting people know about Krishna was good in itself.

Although Christ in my mind is an absolute yogi, I think many Christian teachers today are misrepresenting Christ. They're supposed to be representing Jesus, but they're not doing it very well. They're letting him down very badly, and that's a big turn off.

I've heard that while the show was on there were no reported crimes, or very few. When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes.
George Harrison
Image
I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock 'n' roll band. I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front.

And the time will come when you see, we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

Hare Krishna, Peace and Love
George Harrison
Image
There's the whole significance of Krishna as the flute player who awakens our consciousness. It doesn't necessarily have to be a flute because for me it was a sitar or a guitar or even Elvis Presley doing Heartbreak Hotel. It was like Krishna's flute calling me somewhere. It's just really simple when we can remember.

It's a matter of turning your consciousness inward in order to then realize that God is in there, and then you can see him outside too. It's just a shift in attitude, really.
George Harrison
Image
It takes a certain amount of time and faith to accept or to realize that there is no difference between Him and His name, to get to the point where you're no longer mystified by where He is. You know, like, Is He around here? You realize after some time, Here He is - right here! It's a matter of practice.

All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call.

George: [On the 'Two Virgins' cover] 'What I thought of the sleeve then was the same as I think now: it's just two not-very-nice-looking bodies, two flabby bodies naked. It's harmless, really - different strokes for different folks.

It would be great if everyone chanted Hare Krishna. Everybody would benefit by doing it.

I don't wear small shoes, or tight pants that squash your balls.

Rap music is just computerised crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone.
