More quotes by George Harrison
People always say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but really that's what I see life is about... you have to change.
George Harrison
I'm a tidy sort of bloke. I don't like chaos. I kept records in the record rack, tea in the tea caddy, and pot in the pot box.
George Harrison
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
Everyone has to suffer the gimmicks and other stunts and machinations when they're starting out - only at the time, it doesn't feel like suffering it's fun and different then. But a little fame goes a long way, and then one tries to cast off part of the heavy burden - a burden one can never totally escape.
George Harrison
All I got to be is be happy.
George Harrison
Without looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven
George Harrison
Although I have guitars all around and I pick themm up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say. It's just like, I write lyrics amd I make up songs, but I'm not a great lyricist or songwriter or producer. It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.
George Harrison
And the time will come when you see, we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
George Harrison
In the end, this world will go under because of the stupidity of people.
George Harrison
Without going out of my door I can know all things on Earth.
George Harrison
People have to have a desire within themselves to know who they are and the reason why they are in this body.
George Harrison
Hippies are so phoney and fake.
George Harrison
Rap music is just computerised crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone.
George Harrison
I am part of the cycle, rebirth death, rebirth death, rebirth death.
George Harrison
It's easier to tell a lie, than to tell the truth. It's easier to kill a fly, than it is to turn it loose.
George Harrison
We used to send up the idea of getting to the top. John would shout, Where are we going, fellas? We'd shout back, To the top, Johnny!
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
Most of the world is fooling about, especially the people who think they control the world and the community. The presidents, the politicians, the military, etc., are all jerking about, acting as if they are Lord over their own domains. That's basically Problem One on the planet.
George Harrison
When somebody does something which everybody really wants to do, then it makes everyone else try a little bit harder and strive for something better, and it's good.
George Harrison
It's wonderful to look back and think you were part of a force that shaped modern music and influenced the public in so many ways. However, that's all in the past.
