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.Collection: Space
When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.Collection: Peace
At death, you're going to be needing some spiritual guidance and some kind of inner knowledge that extends beyond the boundaries of the physical world... it's what's inside that counts.Collection: Knowledge
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.Collection: Age
With our love, we could save the world.Collection: Love
All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.Collection: Birthday
I wanted to be successful, not famous.Collection: Famous
Although I have guitars all around, and I pick them 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, and 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.Collection: Funny
In the end, you're trying to find God. That's the result of not being satisfied. And it doesn't matter how much money, or property, or whatever you've got, unless you're happy in your heart, then that's it. And unfortunately, you can never gain perfect happiness unless you've got that state of consciousness that enables that.Collection: Money
To the best of my knowledge, none of the Beatles can read music.Collection: Knowledge
I'll tell you one thing for sure: once you get to the point where you're actually doing things for truth's sake, then nobody can ever touch you again because you're harmonizing with a greater power.Collection: Truth
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.Collection: Change
I'm really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow... I stay at home and watch the river flow.Collection: Home
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.Collection: Money
If you want to be popular and famous, you can do it; it's dead easy if you have that ego desire. But most of my ego desires as far as being famous and successful were fulfilled a long time ago.Collection: Famous
I play a little guitar, write a few tunes, make a few movies, but none of that's really me. The real me is something else.Collection: Movies
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.Collection: Beauty
To tell the truth, I'd join a band with John Lennon any day, but I couldn't join a band with Paul McCartney, but it's nothing personal. It's just from a musical point of view.Collection: Truth
Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait.Collection: God
Gossip is the Devil's radio.
It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.
If we'd know we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.
We were the Spice Boys.
If we were all perfected beings, we wouldn't be here in the physical world.
Hippies are so phoney and fake.
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.
People say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but to me, that's what life's about.
You've got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don't want.
Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. But I don't think that suddenly some magic happens and the whole lot of us will all be liberated in one throw.
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.
The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
America has everything, why should they want us.
I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'
As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
Love one another.
The Beatles exist apart from myself. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion, and until the end of my life, people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.
I just got so fed up with the bad vibes. I didn't care if it was the Beatles; I was getting out.
I think of myself as a jungle musician because of my lack of formal training.
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.
I'm not a fan of that sort of punky, heavy, tinny stuff. I like a nice melody.
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.
I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
The Beatles will exist without us.
I'd rather be a musician than a rock star.
Muhammad Ali was quite cute.
As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
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.
The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.
The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
The Concert for Bangladesh was just a moral stance.
