More From George Harrison

With Every Mistake, We Must Surely Be Learning.

How Long It Will Take Until We Get To A Golden Age Where Everybody's Perfectly In Tune With God's Will, I Don't Know; But Because Of Prabhupada, Krishna Consciousness Has Certainly Spread More In The Last Sixteen Years Than It Has Since The Sixteenth Century, Since The Time Of Lord Caitanya. The Mantra Has Spread More Quickly And The Movement's Gotten Bigger And Bigger.

We're God Too But We Don't Realise It.

I Wouldn't Like To Say That I'm Absolutely God Conscious. It's Like Everybody Else. We're Battling With The Forces That Are Pulling Us Upwards And Downwards At The Same Time. But Basically We All Want Love, That's What I Feel.

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!

I Fell In Love, Not With Anything Or Anybody In Particular But With Everything.

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.

Everybody Would Like To Be Good, That's The Silly Thing, Everybody Always Likes It When They're Having A Nice Time Or When They're Happy Or When It's Sunny, They All Dig It; But Then They Go And Forget About It, They Never Really Try To Make It Nice. They Think That It Just Comes Along And It's Nice If You're Lucky, Or If You're Unlucky It's Bad For You.

The More People Wake Up Spiritually, The More They'll Begin To Realize The Depth Of What Prabhupada Was Saying - How Much He Gave.

It's God's Love Manifest In This World Through Everything That's In This World, And All The People In The World.

Once I Chanted The Hare Krishna Mantra All The Way From France To Portugal, Nonstop. I Drove For About Twenty-three Hours And Chanted All The Way. It Gets You Feeling A Bit Invincible. The Funny Thing Was That I Didn't Even Know Where I Was Going. I Mean I Had Bought A Map, And I Knew Basically Which Way I Was Aiming, But I Couldn't Speak French, Spanish, Or Portuguese. But None Of That Seemed To Matter. You Know, Once You Get Chanting, Then Things Start To Happen Transcendentally.

My Life Belongs To Me, My Love Belongs To Those Who Can See It.

George: 'ringo Would Always Say Grammmatically Incorrect Phrases And We'd All Laugh. I Remember When We Were Driving Back To Liverpool From Luton Up The M1 Motorway In Ringo's Zephyr, And The Car's Bonnet Hadn't Been Latched Properly. The Wind Got Under It And Blew It Up In Front Of The Windscreen. We Were All Shouting, 'aaaargh!' And Ringo Calmly Said, 'don't Worry, I'll Soon Have You Back In Your Safely-beds.

Why Should God Be Limited? Even If You Get Him As Krishna, He Is Not Limited To That Picture Of Krishna. He Can Be The Baby Form, He Can Be Govinda And Manifest In So Many Other Well-known Forms. You Can See Krishna As A Little Boy, Which Is How I Like To See Krishna. It's A Joyful Relationship.

Some Got Rabies, Some Got Fleas, Some Got Incurable Diseases From This Cockamamie Business.

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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.

Everybody Is Worried About Dying, But The Cause Of Death Is Birth, So If You Don't Want To Die, You Don't Get Born!

I Am Part Of The Cycle, Rebirth Death, Rebirth Death, Rebirth Death.

You're Asking Me Will My Love Grow. I Don't Know, I Don't Know. You Stick Around Now It May Show. I Don't Know, I Don't Know

You Can Be Standing Right In Front Of The Truth And Not Necessarily See It, And People Only Get It When They're Ready To Get It.

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.

God's All Happiness, All Bliss, And By Chanting His Names We Connect With Him. So It's Really A Process Of Actually Having A Realization Of God, Which All Becomes Clear With The Expanded State Of Consciousness That Develops When You Chant.

If I Feel Love, I Just Want To Feel More Love. And If I Feel A Bit Of Peace, I Want To Feel More Peace. But I Don't Really Have Any Great Ambitions. I Feel Very Happy. I've Got A Lot Of Good Friends. I Just Want It To Be Better And More Of It, Really.

I'll Give Up This Sort Of Touring Madness Certainly, But Music-everything Is Based On Music. No, I'll Never Stop My Music.

Do What You Want To Do, And Go Where You're Going To. Think For Yourself, 'cause I Won't Be There With You.

Even One Moment In The Company Of A Divine Person, Krishna's Pure Devotee, Can Help A Tremendous Amount.

Whatever You've Done, You Get It Back, So You Can Either Go On, Or You Can Blow It.

The Guru And Disciple Relationship Is Where The Person Has A 100% Belief In The Guru And That Way You Put Your Trust In The Guru, That He's Going To Get You Out Of This Mess. If You Are A Christian, Then Christ Is Your Guru, And They're All Disciples Of Christ.

Prayer Is To Vibrate, Do The Devotion, Whatever It Is, To Whoever You Believe In, Christ Or Buddha Or Krishna Or Any Of Them. You Get The Response Depending On How Much You Need It.

The More I Go Inside, The More There Is To See.

That Was The Thing About Prabhupada, You See. He Didn't Just Talk About Loving Krishna And Getting Out Of This Place, But He Was The Perfect Example. He Talked About Always Chanting, And He Was Always Chanting. I Think That That In Itself Was Perhaps The Most Encouraging Thing For Me. It Was Enough To Make Me Try Harder, To Be Just A Little Bit Better. He Was A Perfect Example Of Everything He Preached.

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.

There's This Indian Fellow Who Worked Out A Cycle Like The Idea Of Stone-age, Bronze-age, Only He Did It On An Indian One. The Cycle Goes From Nothing Until Now And 20th Century And Then On And Right Around The Cycle Until The People Are Really Grooving And Then Just Sinks Back Into Ignorance Until It Gets Back Into The Beginning Again. So The 20th Century Is A Fraction Of That Cycle, And How Many Of Those Cycles Has It Done Yet? It's Done As Many As You Think And All These Times It's Been Through Exactly The Same Things, And It'll Be This Again.

The Nicest Thing Is To Open The Newspapers And Not To Find Yourself In Them.

Finding Yourself

I Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

They Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad And Then Blamed It On Us. Gandhi Says Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice. The Image Of My Choice Is Not Beatle George - Those Who Want That Can Go And See Wings. Why Live In The Past? Be Here Now.

I'm Really Quite Simple. I Don't Want To Be In The Business Full Time Because I'm A Gardener. I Plant Flowers And Watch Them Grow. I Don't Go Out To Clubs And Partying. I Stay At Home And Watch The River Flow.

Barney Kessel Is Definitely The Best Guitar Player In This World, Or Any Other World.

Consciousness And Meditation Are Methods Where You Can Actually Obtain God Perception.

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.

Indian Music Is Brilliant And For Me, Anyway, (this Is Only Personal) It's Got Everything In It. I Still Like Electronics And All Sorts Of Music If It's Good But Indian Music Is Just... An Untouchable You Can't Say What It Is, Because It Just Is.

What Do You Think Of The Criticism That You're Not Very Good?

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

I Believe I Love My Guitar More Than The Others Love Theirs. For John And Paul, Songwriting Is Pretty Important And Guitar Playing Is A Means To An End. While They're Making Up New Tunes I Can Thoroughly Enjoy Myself Just Doodling Around With A Guitar For A Whole Evening. I'm Fascinated By New Sounds I Can Get From Different Instruments I Try Out. I'm Not Sure That Makes Me Particularly Musical. Just Call Me A Guitar Fanatic Instead, And I'll Be Satisfied.

The Media Is To Blame For Everything, For All The Misconceptions About The Movement, But In A Sense It Didn't Really Matter If They Said Something Good Or Bad, Because Krishna Consciousness Always Seemed To Transcend That Barrier Anyway. The Fact That The Media Was Letting People Know About Krishna Was Good In Itself.

The Beatles Saved The World From Boredom.

I Hope Somebody Does This To All My Crap Demos When I'm Dead, Making Them Into Hit Songs.

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

Heaven And Hell Is Right Now. ... You Make It Heaven Or You Make It Hell By Your Actions.

There's A Point In Me Where It's Beyond Sad, Seeing The State Of The World Today. It's So Screwed Up. It's Terrible, And It Will Be Getting Worse And Worse. More Concrete Everywhere, More Pollution, More Radioactivity. There's No Wilderness Left, No Pure Air. They're Chopping The Forests Down. They're Polluting All The Oceans.

I Was Quite Responsible For Stirring Things Up. I Conspired To Get Ringo In For Good; I Talked To Paul And John Until They Came Round To The Idea.

Definitely, I Think It's Much More Acceptable, The Idea Of Meditation Or Yoga. The Idea Of God Trying To Contact The Soul Within Ourselves. Back In The 60s It Was A Bit Like, You Know , The Hippies Or The Philosophers Were The Only People.

I'd Rather Stay Home And Watch The Tube Than Go Out And Make Myself Into A Spectacle. I'm Not Uncomfortable With A Social Life, But It Doesn't Appeal To Me. It Doesn't Seem To Accomplish Anything - It Just Leaves One Wanting For More.

I'm A Person Who's Trying To Live Within Divine Law, To The Best And It's Very Hard Because It's Self-discipline, Because The More You Realise, The More You've Got To Get Yourself Straight, So It's Hard, You Know. I'm Trying And There Are A Lot Of People Who Are Trying, Even People Who Are Not Conscious That They Are Doing It, But They Are Really Doing Things For The Good, Or Just To Be Happy Or Whatever.

I Do Believe In Growing Old Gracefully, And When The Time Comes That I Would Look Silly Performing On Stage, I'll Be Prepared To Give It Up Without Regrets.

If Your Dog Should Be Dead, I'm Gonna Love You Instead.

The Only Thing We Really Have To Work At In This Life Is How To Manifest Love.

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.

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.

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree. It Doesn't Matter What You Call Him Just As Long As You Call.

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.

My Sweet Lord, Hallelujah. My, My Lord, Hallelujah. My, My Lord, Hare Krishna.

Death Is Just Where Your Suit Falls Off And Now You're In Your Other Suit. You Can't See It On This Level, But It's All Right. Don't Worry.

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.

Krishna Is God, And By Chanting His Holy Names, The Devotee Quickly Develops God-consciousness.

The Lord Loves The One That Loves The Lord And The Law Says If You Don't Give, Then You Don't Get Loving Now The Lord Helps Those That Help Themselves And The Law Says Whatever You Do It Comes Right Back On You

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

Vrndavana Is One Of The Holiest Cities In India. Everyone, Everywhere, Chants Hare Krishna. It Was My Most Fantastic Experience.

And So My Music, It Doesn't Matter If I Did It 20 Years Ago Or If I Did It Tomorrow. It Doesn't Go With Trends. My Trousers Don't Get Wider And Tighter Every Six Months. My Music Just Stays What It Is, And That's The Way I Like It.

People Have To Have The Desire Within Themselves To Find Out Who They Are. Who Am I And What Am I Doing Here And Where Am I Going? Those Sort Of Basic Questions. Even Without Picking Up A Book Or Anything. If They Just Ask Themselves That Sincerely, In The Quiet Of The Night, The Door Will Open.

We Have The Same Qualities As God, Just Like A Drop Of The Ocean Has The Same Qualities As The Whole Ocean. Everybody's Looking For Something And We Are It. We Don't Have To Look Anywhere--it's Right There Within Ourselves.

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.

The Amount Of Grace I Would Expect From God Should Be Equal To The Amount Of Grace I Can Gather Or Earn. I Get Out What I Put In.

I Don't Know How You Were Diverted You Were Perverted Too. I Don't Know How You Were Inverted No One Alerted You.

There's A Fire That Burns Away The Lies, Manifesting In The Spiritual Eye.

I Had No Ambition When I Was A Kid Other Than To Play Guitar And Get In A Rock 'n' Roll Band. I Don't Really Like To Be The Guy In The White Suit At The Front. Like In The Beatles, I Was The One Who Kept Quiet At The Back And Let The Other Egos Be At The Front.

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.

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.

Telling The Truth

Yesterday, Today Was Tomorrow. And Tomorrow, Today Will Be Yesterday.

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.

Krishna Is God, So He's Absolute: His Name, His Form, Prasadam, It's All Him.

If There Is A God, I Want To See Him. I Don't Want To Just Hear Some Holy Roller Shouting About Him.

If There Is A God

I Think Prabhupada's Accomplishments Are Very Significant; They're Huge. Even Compared To Someone Like William Shakespeare, The Amount Of Literature Prabhupada Produced Is Truly Amazing. It Boggles The Mind. He Sometimes Went For Days With Only A Few Hours Sleep. I Mean Even A Youthful, Athletic Young Person Couldn't Keep The Pace He Kept Himself At Seventy-nine Years Of Age.

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

When You've Seen Beyond Yourself, Then You May Find, Peace Of Mind Is Waiting There.

I'd Like To Think That All The Old Beatle Fans Have Grown Up And They've Got Married And They've All Got Kids And They're All More Responsible, But They Still Have A Space In Their Hearts For Us.

A Lot Of People Went Underground With Their Spiritual Life In The Seventies, But They're Out There In Little Nooks And Crannies And In The Countryside, People Who Look And Dress Straight, Insurance Salesmen Types, But They're Really Meditators And Chanters, Closet Devotees.

I Think The Main Thing That We Have To Do Is Try And Train Ourselves To Remember From Moment To Moment That God Is Living Within Us And Within Everybody Else, And Just Trying To Remember To See That.

Scan Not A Friend With A Microscopic Glass, You Know His Faults, Now Let The Foibles Pass.

We Don't, As A Collective Life On This Planet, All Get Groovy Together Or All Sink Into Ignorance Together. One By One We Liberate Our Souls, Our Individual Souls, From The Cycle By Our Own Realizations.

I Never Surf (the Net). I Don't Know The Password.

We Are Not These Bodies, Just Souls Having A Bodily Experience.

No Matter How Good You Are, You Still Need Grace To Get Out Of The Material World. You Can Be A Yogi Or A Monk Or A Nun, But Without God's Grace You Still Can't Make It.

Life Is Like A Piece Of String With A Lot Of Knots Tied In It. The Knots Are The Karma You're Born With From All Your Past Lives, And The Object Of Human Life Is To Try And Undo All Those Knots. That's What Chanting And Meditation In God Consciousness Can Do. Otherwise You Simply Tie Another Ten Knots Each Time You Try To Undo One Knot. That's How Karma Works.

I Know Chances Are If I Don't Give An Interview Or Make A Public Appearance Or Statement From Time To Time, They'll Invent One. Every So Often, I Suppose People Ask, 'whatever Happened To That Other Beatle, George Harrison?' And Someone Comes Around With A Ready Answer, No Matter How Preposterous It Seems. It's Possibly The Worst Price One Has To Pay For What They Call Stardom.

I'm Pessimistic About The Future Of The Planet. These Big Guys Don't Realize For Everything They Do, There's A Reaction. You Have To Pay. That's Karma.

Oh Yeah, Gossip. I Heard You On The Secret Wireless. You Know The Devil's Radio Child.

This Song Ain't Black Or White And As Far As I Know It Don't Infringe On Anyone's Copyright.

The Best Thing Anyone Can Give To Humanity Is God Consciousness. Then You Can Really Give Them Something. But First You Have To Concentrate On Your Own Spiritual Advancement; So In A Sense We Have To Become Selfish To Become Selfless.

If There Is A God, I Want To See Him, Not Only His Energy Or His Light, But Him.

If There Is A God

You Can Actually See God, And Hear Him, Play With Him. It Might Sound Crazy, But He Is Actually There.

When I Say That "l See God," I Don't Necessarily Mean To Say That When I Chant I'm Seeing Krishna In His Original Form When He Came Five Thousand Years Ago, Dancing Across The Water, Playing His Flute. Of Course, That Would Also Be Nice, And It's Quite Possible Too. When You Become Real Pure By Chanting, You Can Actually See God Like That, I Mean Personally. But No Doubt You Can Feel His Presence And Know That He's There When You're Chanting.

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.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

We First Got Marijuana From An Older Drummer With Another Group In Liverpool. We Didn't Actually Try It Until After We'd Been To Hamburg. I Remember We Smoked It In The Band Room In A Gig In Southport And We All Learnt To Do The Twist That Night, Which Was Popular At The Time. We Were All Seeing If We Could Do It. Everybody Was Saying, 'this Stuff Isn't Doing Anything.' It Was Like That Old Joke Where A Party Is Going On And Two Hippies Are Up Floating On The Ceiling, And One Is Saying To The Other, 'this Stuff Doesn't Work, Man.'

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.

Dylan Is So Brilliant. To Me, He Makes William Shakespeare Look Like Billy Joel.

That's What The Whole Sixties Flower-power Thing Was About: 'go Away, You Bunch Of Boring People.

I Don't Wear Small Shoes, Or Tight Pants That Squash Your Balls.

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.

"hallelujah" Is A Joyous Expression The Christians Have, But "hare Krishna" Has A Mystical Side To It. It's More Than Just Glorifying God; It's Asking To Become His Servant. And Because Of The Way The Mantra Is Put Together, With The Mystic Spiritual Energy Contained In Those Syllables, It's Much Closer To God Than The Way Christianity Currently Seems To Be Representing Him.

If Everyone Who Had A Gun Just Shot Themselves, There Wouldn't Be A Problem.

I'm Sick Of All These Young People Just Boogeying Around, Wasting Their Lives, You Know.

"in The Beginning Was The Word" And That's The Thing About Krishna, Saying Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, So It's Not The Word That You're Saying, It's The Sound: Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna And It's Just Sounds And It's Great.

While Everybody Else Was Going Mad, We Were Actually The Sanest People In The Whole Thing.

Music Should Be Used For The Perception Of God, Not Jitterbugging.

Heaven And Hell Is Right Now, Right At This Moment. You Make It Heaven Or You Make It Hell By Your Actions.

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.

The Past Is Gone And The Future Might Not Even Be, The Only Thing We Ever Experience Is The Now, I Try To Enjoy The Minute.

Home Life Is Best For Me. But I Do Enjoy The Company Of Good Friends Whether From Long Ago Or Newer Friends Who Only Know Me As George, Not The Ex-beatle.

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

I Was Brought Up In The Kind Of Catholic Situation Up Until I Was About Eleven Years Old, Which Was That God Is This Thing That We're Never Going To See, We're Never Going To Meet, But You Still Have To Believe In What We Say. It's Like This Blind Faith In Something That They Can't Show You.

What Would You Call This Haircut?" Arthur.

One Of The Main Differences Between Silent Meditation And Chanting Is That Silent Meditation Is Rather Dependent On Concentration, But When You Chant, It's More Of A Direct Connection With God.

Didn't Want To Be A Star, Wanted Just To Play Guitar In This Cockamamie Business.

People Have To Have A Desire Within Themselves To Know Who They Are And The Reason Why They Are In This Body.

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.

Throughout Much Of Our Lives, Our Association With The Temporary Has Risen. This Transitory Body, A Sack Of Bones And Flesh, Is Considered Erroneously As Our True Body And We Have Accepted This Temporary Condition As Conclusive.

It Just Annoyed Me That People Got So Into The Beatles. "beatles, Beatles, Beatles." It's Not That I Don't Like Talking About Them. I've Never Stopped Talking About Them. It's "beatles This, Beatles That, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles." Then In The End, It's Like "oh, Sod Off With The Beatles," You Know?

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

Sometimes I Feel Like I’m Actually On The Wrong Planet. It’s Great When I’m In My Garden, But The Minute I Go Out The Gate I Think, ‘what The Hell Am I Doing Here?

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

The Saddest Thing Was Actually Getting Fed Up With One Another. It's Like Growing Up In A Family. When You Get To A Certain Age, You Want To Go Off And Get Your Own Girl And Your Own Car, Split Up A Bit.

Life Is Like A Rain Drop On A Lotus Leaf. Everybody Realises That You're Either Very Lucky Person Or You're Not.

As Far As I'm Concerned, There Won't Be A Beatles Reunion As Long As John Lennon Remains Dead.

It's By Your Own Actions You're Able To Get More In A Mess Or Out Of One. It's Your Own Actions That Relieve Or Bind You.

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

The First Time I Took Lsd, It Just Blew Everything Away. I Had Such An Incredible Feeling Of Well-being.

Badfinger Was Pretty Good. It Was A Very Sad Story, Though, Because The Guy, He Ended Up Killing Himself, Pete Ham, Who Was A Lovely Fellow, He Was A Good Guitar Player And A Great Singer, He Wrote, The Most Famous Tune I Would Imagine Is "without You", You Know The Harry Nilsson Record.

All The World Is Birthday Cake, So Take A Piece, But Not Too Much.

With Most Of The People You Just Communicate You Don't Have To Talk.

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

Everybody Should Just Stay At Home And Meditate And They'd Be So Much Happier.

Here Are Some Funny Songs, There Are Some Songs That We Didn't Even Remember. I Heard This Song That Ringo Is Singing, I Still Don't Know The Title Of It, But It Is Got The Most Amazing Lyrics And It's A Quite A Good Production. And Quite A Good Tun

Your Own Space, Man, It's So Important. That's Why We Were Doomed Because We Didn't Have Any. It Is Like Monkeys In A Zoo. They Die. You Know, Everything Needs To Be Left Alone.

I Don't Feel The Need For Unusual Or Glamorous Foods Like Caviar, And I Tend More Towards Ordinary, Satisfying Food.

I Don't Want To Be A Film Star. I Don't Even Want To Be A Pop Star. I Just Want To Live In Peace.

So It's The Unwinding Of Your Nervous System. The Corresponding Experience To What Winds You Up Comes Out In Your Dreams. To Write A Song Then, Even One Like Don't Bother Me, Helps To Get Rid Of Some Subconscious Burden. Writing A Song Is Like Going To Confession.

The Police Are People As Well. All Those Nasty People Aren't Really Nasty If They'd Realise It.

It Doesn't Really Matter What Chords I Play, What Words I Say Or Time Of Day It Is, As It's Only A Northern Song.

Be Straight With Yourself Just To Maybe Save A Few More People From Being Stupid And Being Ignorant.

If You Drive A Car, I'll Tax The Street; If You Try To Sit, I'll Tax Your Seat; If You Get Too Cold, I'll Tax The Heat; If You Take A Walk, I'll Tax Your Feet.

We're Trying To Impress Ourselves In A Way. That's Why We Keep Trying To Do Things Better... We Never Get Satisfied.

It Would Be Great If Everyone Chanted Hare Krishna. Everybody Would Benefit By Doing It.

It Doesn't Matter Whether You're The King Of A Country Or... A Fabulous Beatle; It's What's Inside That Counts.

The Best Thing You Can Give Is God Consciousness. Manifest Your Own Divinity First. The Truth Is There. It's Right Within Us All. Understand What You Are.

I Believe What It Says In The Scriptures And In The Bhagavad Gita: 'never Was There A Time When You Did Not Exist, And There Never Will Be A Time When You Cease To Exist.'

The Christianity That Had Come In My Life As A Child Was All This Idea That You're Never Going To See God. It's Like Hypocrisy, In A Way.

And The Time Will Come When You See, We’re All One, And Life Flows On Within You And Without You.

Prasadam's A Good Little Hook In This Age Of Commercialism. When People Want Something Extra, Or They Need To Have Something Special, Prasadam Will Hook Them In There. It's Undoubtedly Done A Great Deal Toward Getting A Lot More People Involved In Spiritual Life.

Give Me Love Give Me Love Give Me Peace On Earth Give Me Light Give Me Life Keep Me Free From Birth Give Me Hope Help Me Cope, With This Heavy Load Trying To, Touch And Reach You With, Heart And Soul

I Think People Who Truly Can Live A Life In Music Are Telling The World, ‘you Can Have My Love, You Can Have My Smiles. Forget The Bad Parts, You Don’t Need Them. Just Take The Music, The Goodness, Because It’s The Very Best, And It’s The Part I Give Most Willingly

I Want The Pope To Have The Christ Consciousness. I Don't Want To Just Talk About Christ.

Christ Consciousness

If God Is Unlimited, Then He Can Appear In Any Form, Whichever Way He Likes To Appear.

We'll Keep On Being Re-born Because For The Law Of Action And Reaction: "what-so-ever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap;" You Reap When You Come Back In Your Next Birth, What You've Sown In Your Previous Incarnation, That's Why I'm Me And You're You And He's Him And We Are All Whoever We Are.

I'd Rather Be One Of The Devotees Of God Than One Of The Straight, So-called Sane Or Normal People Who Just Don't Understand That Man Is A Spiritual Being, That He Has A Soul.

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

Krishna Is Dwelling In The Hearts Of Everybody. It Doesn't Matter What Kind Of Body You've Got, The Lord's There With You. We're All The Same Really.

Some People, Of Course, Can Be Happier With The Cars, The Fancy Threads, The Hilltop Mansion, And The Other Status Symbols Of 'having Made It', But I Found That Several Of My Most Prized Possessions Were Slipping Away, Despite All The Fortune I Had Amassed.

We Can Go Up Or We Can Do Down. I Think Generally The World Is Going On An Upward Swing. We're In A Part Of A Cycle Where People Are Discovering More. The Communications Are Better. We're Getting More Into The Subtle Electricities That Control The Universe.

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.

If There's A God, I Want To See Him. It's Pointless To Believe In Something Without Proof.

I Know, By The Lord's Grace, I Am A Small Part In The Cosmic Play.

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

The Art School Party In Liverpool, In A Flat In The Students' Accomdation, Was The First All Night Party I Ever Went To...i Puked Up Next Morning. Cynthia Was There, And I Remember Saying Drunkenly To Her 'i Wish I Had A Nice Girl Like You'

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

I Like The Idea Of Seeing Krishna As A Baby, The Way He's Often Depicted In India. And Also Govinda, The Cowherd Boy. I Like The Idea That You Can Have Krishna As A Baby And Feel Protective To Him, Or As Your Friend, Or As The Guru Or Master - Type Figure.

Through All Ages, Great Saints Have Remained As Living Proof That This Non-temporary, Permanent State Of God Consciousness Can Be Revived In All Living Souls.

The Whole Thing Of Life And All The Answers To Everything Are In One Divine Law, Karma Action And Reaction.

The Lord Is In Everything That's In Creation. So, When You Look At A Tree, It's Really A Reflection Of God. You See It In Other People - That's Him Too, You Know?

When The Truth Get's Buried Deep Beneath A Thousand Years Of Sleep, Time Demands A Turnaround.. And Once Again The Truth Is Found.

If I Had Half A Chance, I'd Put Acid In The Government's Tea.

Krishna Is God, The Source Of All That Exists, The Cause Of All That Is, Was, Or Ever Will Be.

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.

When People Come Up To Me Expecting Me To Be Just Like What They Thought A Beatle Would Be, They're Disappointed. I Never Was A Beatle, Except Musically. I Don't Think Any Of Us Was. What Is A Beatle Anyway? I'm Not A Beatle Or An Ex-beatle Or Even The George Harrison. I'm Just A Man. Very Ordinary.

George: [on The 'two Virgins' Cover] 'what I Thought Of The Sleeve Then Was The Same As I Think Now: It's Just Two Not-very-nice-looking Bodies, Two Flabby Bodies Naked. It's Harmless, Really - Different Strokes For Different Folks.
