Everybody Knows That If They're Happy Then Usually The People Around Them Are Happy, Or That People Around Them Happy Make Them A Little Happier; That's A Proved Thing, Like "i Give To You And You Give To Me"; They All Know That But They Haven't Thought About It To The Point Of Every Action That They Do. That's What It Is With Every Action That You Do, There's A Reaction To It, And If You Want A Good Reaction Then You Do A Good Action, And If You Want A Bad One, Then You Punch Somebody.

More From George Harrison

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.

We Are All One, I Mean Communication, Just The Realisation Of Human Love Reciprocated, It's Such A Gas, It's A Good Vibration Which Makes You Feel Good. These Vibrations That You Get Through Yoga, Cosmic Chants And Things Like That. I Mean It's Such A Buzz, It Buzzes You Out Of Everywhere. It's Nothing To Do With Pills Or Anything Like That. It's Just In Your Own Head, The Realisation, It's Such A Buzz, It Buzzes You Right Into The Astral Plane.

Srila Prabhupada Has Already Had An Amazing Effect On The World. There's No Way Of Measuring It. One Day I Just Realized, "god, This Man Is Amazing!" He Would Sit Up All Night Translating Sanskrit Into English, Putting In Glossaries To Make Sure Everyone Understands It, And Yet He Never Came Off As Someone Above You.

Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice.

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.

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

You Don't Need A Passport And You Don't Need No Visas, You Don't Need To Designate Or Emigrate Before You Can See Jesus.

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.

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.

Make Love, Take Love, But You Should Give Love. And Try To Live Love.

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.

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.

Even If It's Being A Beatle For The Rest Of My Life, It's Still Only A Temporary Thing.

Through Hinduism, I Feel A Better Person. I Just Get Happier And Happier. I Now Feel That I Am Unlimited, And I Am More In Control Of My Own Physical Body. The Thing Is, You Go To An Ordinary Church And It's A Nice Feeling. They Tell You All About God, But They Don't Show You How The Way. They Don't Show You How To Become Christ-concious Yourself. Hinduism, However, Is Different.

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

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

Love, Come And Get It, It's Free.

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

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.

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

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

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 Guess That's The Business Of Devotees - To Make You Think Of God.

Chanting Hare Krishna Is Really The Same Sort Of Thing As Meditation, But I Think It Has A Quicker Effect. I Mean, Even If You Put Your Beads Down, You Can Still Say The Mantra Or Sing It Without Actually Keeping Track On Your Beads.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 You Visit A Temple, You Can See Pictures Of God, You Can See The Deity Form Of The Lord, And You Can Just Hear Him By Listening To Yourself And Others Say The Mantra. It's Just A Way Of Realizing That All The Senses Can Be Applied Toward Perceiving God, And It Makes It That Much More Appealing, Seeing The Pictures, Hearing The Mantra, Smelling The Incense, Flowers, And So On.

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

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.

I'll Play What You Want Or I Won't Play At All.

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

Everyone Has To Suffer The Gimmicks And Other Stunts And Machinations When They're Starting Out - Only At The Time, It Doesn't Feel Like Suffering; It's Fun And Different Then. But A Little Fame Goes A Long Way, And Then One Tries To Cast Off Part Of The Heavy Burden - A Burden One Can Never Totally Escape.

If There's A God, I Want To See Him. It's Pointless To Believe In Something Without Proof, And Krishna Consciousness And Meditation Are Methods Where You Can Actually Obtain God Perception. In That Way You Can See, Hear And Play With God. Perhaps This May Sound Weird, But God Is Really There Next To You.

My Mum Did Encourage Me, Perhaps Most Of All By Never Discouraging Me From Anything I Wanted To Do. If You Tell Kids Not To, They're Going To Do It In The End Anyway. I'd Finished All That Staying-out-all-night-drinking Bit When Everybody Else Came To It. Probably Why I Don't Like Alcohol Today. I Had It All By The Age Of 10.

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

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

It Is An Outrage That People Can Take Other People's Lives When They Obviously Haven't Got Their Own Lives In Order.

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

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

Long Time Ago When We Were Fab, Back When Income Tax Was All We Had.

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.

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

Everyone Has Choice When To And Not To Raise Their Voices: It's You Who Decides.

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.

It Was Daylight And I Drove Everyone Home - I Was Driving A Mini With John And Cynthia And Pattie In It. I Seem To Remember We Were Doing Eighteen Miles An Hour And I Was Really Concentrating - Because Some Of The Time I Just Felt Normal And Then, Before I Knew Where I Was, It Was All Crazy Again. Anyway, We Got Home Safe And Sound, And Somewhere Down The Line John And Cynthia Got Home. I Went To Bed And Lay There For, Like, Three Years.

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!

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.

I'm A Dark Horse, Running On A Dark Race Course

I've Always Enjoyed Prasadam Much More When I've Been At The Temple, Or When I've Actually Been Sitting With Prabhupada, Than When Somebody's Brought It To Me. Sometimes You Can Sit There With Prasadam And Find That Three Or Four Hours Have Gone By And You Didn't Even Know It. Prasadam Really Helped Me A Lot, Because You Start To Realize "now I'm Tasting Krishna."

The World Is A Very Serious And, At Times, Very Sad Place - But At Other Times It Is All Such A Joke.

I Don't Believe In Telling All To The Public, But I Feel A Certain Gratitude To Them For Having Provided Me With A Fine Material Base That Enables Me To Do Pretty Much What I Want, Possibly, For The Rest Of My Life.

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.

As Long As You Hate, There Will Be People To Hate.

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

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.

It's Being Here Now That's Important. There's No Past And There's No Future. All There Is Ever, Is The Now.

Hope For The Future

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree.

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

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.

I'm Only Myself When I Have A Guitar In My Hands.

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.

People Are Simply Screwing Up When They Go Out And Buy Beef Steak, Which Is Killing Them With Cancer And Heart Troubles. The Stuff Costs A Fortune Too. You Could Feed A Thousand People With Lentil Soup For The Cost Of Half A Dozen Filets. Does That Make Sense?

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

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

I've Heard That While The Show Was On There Were No Reported Crimes, Or Very Few. When The Beatles Were On Ed Sullivan, Even The Criminals Had A Rest For Ten Minutes.

Having Played With Other Musicians, I Don't Even Think The Beatles Were That Good.

We Were The Spice Boys.

If There's A God, I Want To See Him. It's Pointless To Believe In Something Without Proof, And Krishna Consciousness And Meditation Are Methods Where You Can Actually Obtain God Perception.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

A Mind That Wants To Wander Around A Corner Is An Un-wise Mind. Now, Is, Be Here Now.

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.

Everybody Knows That If They're Happy Then Usually The People Around Them Are Happy, Or That People Around Them Happy Make Them A Little Happier; That's A Proved Thing, Like "i Give To You And You Give To Me"; They All Know That But They Haven't Thought About It To The Point Of Every Action That They Do. That's What It Is With Every Action That You Do, There's A Reaction To It, And If You Want A Good Reaction Then You Do A Good Action, And If You Want A Bad One, Then You Punch Somebody.

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.

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.

It's In The Films And Songs And All Your Magazines. It's Everywhere That You May Go, The Devil's Radio.

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

Be Healthy, Don't Eat Meat, Keep Away From Those Night-clubs And Meditate.

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.

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

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

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.

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.

What's Often In Your Heart Is The Hardest To Reach.

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

In One Way, I'm Never Going To Get Out Of This Material World Unless It's By His Grace But Then Again, His Grace Is Relative To The Amount Of Desire I Can Manifest In Myself.

It's Easier To Criticize Somebody Else, Than To See Yourself.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

As A Beatle, My Everyday Life Belonged To The Public In One Way Or Another. We Were Always Appearing For The Public In The Early Days, Or We Were Planning For Them, Producing For Them, Interviewing For Their Sake, Etc.

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.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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.

Once You Realize Something, Then You Can't Pretend You Don't Know It Any More.

Beware Of Sadness It Can Hit You It Can Hurt You Make You Sore And What Is More That Is Not What You Are Here For.

Been Stuck In Airports, Terrorized; Sent To Meetings, Hypnotized; Overexposed, Commercialized. Handle Me With Care.

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.

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

Wherever I Go In The World, When I See Devotees, I Always Say "hare Krishna!" To Them, And They're Always Pleased To See Me. It's A Nice Relationship. Whether They Really Know Me Personally Or Not, They Feel They Know Me. And They Do, Really.

I Don't Mind Anybody Dropping Out Of Anything, But It's The Imposition On Somebody Else I Don't Like. The Moment You Start Dropping Out And Then Begging Off Somebody Else To Help You, Then It's No Good. It Doesn't Matter What You Are As Long As You Work.

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

Christ Consciousness

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.

A Little Understanding Of "as You Sow, So Shall You Reap" Is Important, Because Then You Can't Blame The Condition You're In On Anyone Else.

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

The Word Hare Is The Word That Calls Upon The Energy That's Around The Lord. If You Say The Mantra Enough, You Build Up An Identification With God.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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?

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

There's This Morbid Side To The Way Many Represent Christianity Today, Where You Don't Smile, Because It's Too Serious, And You Can't Expect To See God - That Kind Of Stuff. If There Is God, We Must See Him, And I Don't Believe In The Idea You Find In Most Churches, Where They Say, "no, You're Not Going To See Him. He's Way Up Above You. Just Believe What We Tell You And Shut Up."

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

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.

Although Christ, In My Mind Is An Absolute Yogi, I Think Many Christian Teachers Today Are Misrepresenting Christ.

Christ Was The One Washing The Leper's Feet So He Was Very, Very Humble, But It's Not The Way People Are Putting It Down Now. They Feel As Though God Is That Up There And They Are That Down There And They Don't Realise That They Are God And That Christ Was Exactly The Same As Us But He Realises That He Was God.

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.

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

We Worked The Medley On Side Two Of "abbey Road" Out Carefully In Advance. All Of Those Mini Songs Were Partly Completed Tunes; Some Were Written While We Were In India A Year Before. So There Was Just A Bit Of Chorus Here And A Verse There. We Welded Them All Together Into A Routine.

Experience Is The Main Reason Why We're Here, I Think, In The World To Gain Experience And From Our Experience We Gain Knowledge. Oh, I Think So, Anyway. Knowledge And If We Get Any Knowledge Then We Gain Liberation.

They Say The Way To A Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach, So If You Can Get To A Man's Spirit Soul By Eating, And It Works, Why Not Do It? There's Nothing Better Than Having Been Chanting And Dancing, Or Just Sitting And Talking Philosophy, And Then Suddenly The Devotees Bring Out The Prasadam. It's A Blessing From Krishna, And It's Spiritually Important.

My Life Belongs The Lord Krishna Now. I'm Just The Servant Of Krishna. I've Never Been So Humble In All My Life, And I Feel Great!

You've Got As Many Lives As You Like, And More, Even Ones You Don't Want.

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.

There Was This Big Skiffle Craze Happening For A While In England.... Everybody Was In A Skiffle Group..all You Needed Was An Acoustic Guitar, A Washboard With Thimbles For Percussion, And A Tea-chest- You Know, The Ones They Used To Ship Tea From India- And You Just Put A Broom Handle On It And A Bit Of String, And You Had A Bass..you Only Needed Two Chords; Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing. And I Think That's Basically Where I've Always Been At. I'm Just A Skiffler, You Know. Now I Do Posh Skiffle, That's All It Is.

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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.

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'

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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

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.

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.

I Keep Stacks Of Autobiography Of A Yogi Around The House, And I Give It Out Constantly To People. When People Need 'regrooving,' I Say Read This, Because It Cuts To The Heart Of Every Religion.

There's A Bottomless Heart Hooked Into All Of You And It's Wondering How Much You Care.

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?

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.

Since Our Problems Have Been Our Own Creation, They Also Can Be Overcome.

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

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.

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

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

The Beatles Saved The World From Boredom.

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

Chanting Doesn't Stop You From Being Creative Or Productive. It Actually Helps You Concentrate. I Think This Would Make A Great Sketch For Television: Imagine All The Workers On The Ford Assembly Line In Detroit, All Of Them Chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna While Bolting On The Wheels. Now That Would Be Wonderful. It Might Help Out The Auto Industry, And Probably There Would Be More Decent Cars Too.

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

I Don't Want To Be Like You. I Look For The Pure Of Heart, And The Ones That Have Made A Start.

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.

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.

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

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.

That's It Really; It's All Love, Whichever Way You Look At It, It's All Love. How Much You Can Get From Each Other And That's Determined By How Much You're Giving To Each Other... But It All Starts Within Our Self And Then It Spreads To Those Around Us, Good & Bad. But Basically That's It, I Think It's The Love That We Can Generate Is = To The Love That We Get Back Amen

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I Find The Older One Gets The Harder It Is To Keep The Weight Off, Even If One Isn't Eating Very Fattening Foods. Once, I Was Able To Put Foods Like Those Away, And They Didn't Show Up On The Bathroom Scales The Next Morning. But That Was When I Was Very Physically Active, Travelling All Over The World And Burning Up More Calories.

Through Yoga, Anybody Can Attain; It's A God Realisation; You Just Practise Yoga And If You Really Mean It, Then You'll Do It. There's Yogis That Have Done It To Such A Degree That They're God, They're Like Christ And They Can Walk On The Water And Materialise Bodies And They Can Do All Those Tricks.

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 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.

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

In One Way, We're On An Upward Swing, But At The Same Time There's Still A Lot Of Evil That Goes On In The World. I Think It's Definitely Heading In A Better Direction, But It Seems To Take So Long For All The People With The Power, Who Control The Negative Side Of Life And All The Bad Inventions They Have Like Guns And Bombs And Hate. But There Has To Be A Balance. We've Got To All Try Harder To Manifest More Love In Order To Counteract All That.

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

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

It's Being Here Now That's Important. There's No Past And There's No Future. Time Is A Very Misleading Thing. All There Is Ever, Is The Now. We Can Gain Experience From The Past, But We Can't Relive It; And We Can Hope For The Future, But We Don't Know If There Is One.

The Beatles Exist Apart From My Self. 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.

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.
