Quote

The people gave their money and they gave their screams, but the Beatles gave their nervous systems, which is a much more difficult thing to give.

...won't you give some bread to get the starving fed
George Harrison

Stop thinking that if Britain or America or Russia or the West or whatever becomes superior, then we'll beat them, and then we'll all have a rest and live happily ever after. That doesn't work.
George Harrison
Image
Without going out of my door, I can know all things on earth. Without looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven. The farther one travels, The less one knows, the less one really knows.
George Harrison
Image
We're God too but we don't realise it.
George Harrison
Image
We're as much influenced by everybody else as they are by us, if they are. It's just all a part of the big thing.
George Harrison
Image
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.

The idea that you wake up and it happens that you're Queen, it's amazing but you could all be Queens if you imagined it.
George Harrison
Image
That's the real beauty of chanting - you directly connect with God. I have no doubt that by saying Krishna over and over again, He can come and dance on the tongue. The main thing, though, is to keep in touch with God.
George Harrison
Image
I've got my mind set on you. But it's gonna take money, a whole lot of spending money, it's gonna take plenty of money.
George Harrison
Image
I still feel like everybody else, that I'm just growing and learning. Basically, I feel pleased to have discovered this thing that's inside me, that's connected to the same thing that's inside everybody and everything.
George Harrison
Image
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
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
Life is like a rain drop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realises that you're either very lucky person or you're not.
George Harrison
Image
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.
George Harrison
Image
I believe love - and its feminine, though not necessarily female, counterpart, romance, is a private thing. It's something I'm not willing to share with the public.
George Harrison
Image
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.
George Harrison
Image
Many people fear the words Lord and God.

Krishna consciousness was especially good for me because I didn't get the feeling that I'd have to shave my head, move into a temple, and do it full time. So it was a spiritual thing that just fit in with my life-style. I could still be a musician, but I just changed my consciousness, that's all.

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.

Some things take so long But how do I explain When not too many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their tears Your eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Now, isn't it a pity
George Harrison
