Zitat des Tages von George Harrison:
Because we were all from Liverpool, we favored people who were street people.
In the big picture, it doesn't really matter if we never made a record, or we never sang a song. That isn't important.
All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.
You've got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don't want.
We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.
They gave their money, and they gave their screams. But the Beatles kind of gave their nervous systems. They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did, and then blamed it on us.
People say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but to me, that's what life's about.
Gossip is the Devil's radio.
We were the Spice Boys.
I'm really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow... I stay at home and watch the river flow.
As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
The world used us as an excuse to go mad.
The Beatles will exist without us.
The Beatles will go on and on.
Basically, I feel fortunate to have realized what the goal is in life. There's no point in dying having gone through your life without knowing who you are, what you are, or what the purpose of life is. And that's all it is.
Hippies are so phoney and fake.
The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.
If I go to someplace like Switzerland, I find a lot of uptight people because they're living amongst so much beauty; there's no urgency in trying to find the beauty within themselves. If you're stuck in New York, you have to somehow look within yourself - otherwise, you'd go crackers.
When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.
America has everything, why should they want us.
There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.
As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
Love one another.
The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
I'll play what you want or I won't play at all.
I'm not a fan of that sort of punky, heavy, tinny stuff. I like a nice melody.
Some of the best songs that I know are the ones I haven't written yet, and it doesn't even matter if I don't ever write them, because it's only small potatoes compared with the big picture.
Rap bores me, and all the glamour rock groups like Bon Jovi just amuse me. They obviously have a place, but they all sound like they use the same guitar player to me.
If we'd know we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.
The adulation or the superstardom is something I could leave out quite happily.
If I write a tune and people think it's nice, then that's fine by me, but I hate having to compete and promote the thing. I really don't like promotion.
Down through the ages, there has always been the spiritual path. It's been passed on - it always will be - and if anybody ever wants it in any age, it's always there.
I've always played around in my own mind with what a Wilburys tour could be. Would each person do a solo set and then do Wilburys at the end, or would we all go on right from beginning to end and make everything Wilburys? It's an intriguing thought.
After all we did for Britain, selling that corduroy and making it swing, all we got was a bit of tin on a piece of leather.
