No-one knows what I do in my private, spare time, so I don't see why anyone would assume I'm celibate or somehow turning into a Garboesque character.

More quotes by George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
The response that comes from chanting is in the form of bliss, or spiritual happiness, which is a much higher taste than any happiness found here in the material world. That's why I say that the more you do it, the more you don't want to stop, because it feels so nice and peaceful.
George Harrison
I've been the same all along. I talk when I feel like it and I shut up when I don't feel like talking.
George Harrison
Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within.
George Harrison
Now the darkness only stays at night time In the morning it will fade away Daylight is good at arriving at the right time No it's not always going to be this grey.
George Harrison
That's what the whole Sixties Flower-Power thing was about: 'Go away, you bunch of boring people.
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
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
Part of Krishna consciousness is trying to tune in all the senses of all the people: to experience God through all the senses, not just by experiencing Him on Sunday, through your knees by kneeling on some hard wooden kneeler in the church.
George Harrison
It's easier to criticize somebody else, than to see yourself.
George Harrison
I was so young when I was born.
George Harrison
The Beatles are now history, and it would be unhealthy to try to make my way as a former member. I must admit I occasionally listen to our records, but usually it's not deliberate. I'm more concerned with the present, with working out my own individual style and producing something new and worthwhile.
George Harrison
I want the Pope to have the Christ consciousness. I don't want to just talk about Christ.
George Harrison
I'm not really hip to too much of the Zen or the Buddhist point of view, but you see I don't have to be because I just know that they're all the same, it's all the same, it's just whichever one you want to take and it happens that I'm taking the Hindu one.
George Harrison
You can actually see God, and Hear Him, play with Him. It might sound crazy, but He is actually there.
George Harrison
Nobody can become a drug addict if they're hip. Because it's obvious that if you're hip then you've got to make it. The buzz of all buzzes which is the thing that is God - you've got to be straight to get it.
George Harrison
I'm grateful to myself and those closest to me me for having given me that non-material base that means I'm a happy man, one who doesn't have to compete or engineer projects he doesn't have his heart in.
George Harrison
Man can become purified, and with divine vision he can see God. You get pure by chanting, then you see Him.
George Harrison
All I got to be is be happy.
George Harrison
Music is sound, vibrations, whereas paintings are vibrations of whatever you pick up. It's not actually an energy vibration you get from a groovy painting, but music and sound seem to travel along vibrations, you know the whole thing with mantras is to repeat and repeat those sounds... it's vibrations in everything like prayers and hymns.
George Harrison
