I Always Really Enjoyed Our Early Days, Before We Got Too Famous. We Used To Play Clubs And That Kind Of Stuff All The Time. And It Was Fun. It Was Good Because You Get To Play And Get Quite Good At The Instrument. But Then We Got Famous, And It Spoiled All That, Because We'd Just Go Round And Round The World Singing The Same 10 Dopey Tunes.

If A Car Comes Past Me In A Traffic Jam With A Boom Box Going, I Jump Out Of My Skin. Those Big Booming Basses. I'm Just More Sensitive To Noise These Days.

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

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.

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

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 Our Love, We Could Save The World.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I Always Felt At Home With Krishna. You See It Was Already A Part Of Me. I Think It's Something That's Been With Me From My Previous Birth.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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 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.

It Takes A Certain Amount Of Time And Faith To Accept Or To Realize That There Is No Difference Between Him And His Name, To Get To The Point Where You're No Longer Mystified By Where He Is. You Know, Like, "is He Around Here?" You Realize After Some Time, "here He Is - Right Here!" It's A Matter Of Practice.

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.

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

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.

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.

Prabhupada's Definitely Affected The World In An Absolute Way. What He Was Giving Us Was The Highest Literature, The Highest Knowledge. I Mean There Just Isn't Anything Higher.

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.

The World Is Ready For A Mystic Revolution, A Discovery Of The God In Each Of Us.

Ultimately The Love Can Become So Big That We Can Love The Whole Of Creation Instead Of 'i Love This But I Don't Like That.'

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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?

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

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.'

Love One Another (his Last Words)

Love One Another

To Put Your Full Belief In Your Guru, Because It's For Your Own Good, Because You've Decided That... It's Just Having A Lot Of Respect For The Person And It's Like That With Music As Well...you Should Love Your Instrument And Respect It.

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

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

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

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

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.

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!

There Are Those Superstars Who Refuse To Give Anything Of Themselves To The Public Except What They See On-screen. In Movies And On Records, It's Easy To Insulate One's Self From The Public; That's Why I Think I Wouldn't Care To Be A Television Performer, Particularly In The States, Where Tv Stardom Is So Intimate.

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.

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.

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.

I Was Naive And Thought We Could Express Our Feelings To Each Other- Not Suppress Them And Keep Holding Them Back. Well, It Was What I Felt, And Why Should I Be Untrue To Myself? I Came To Believe The Importance That If You Feel Something Strong Enough Then You Should Say It.

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.

The Purpose Of Life Is To Find Out 'who Am I?', 'why Am I Here?' And 'where Am I Going?'

Purpose Of Life

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

The Thing That Pleases Me The Most About It Is That Young People Like It. It's Given Kids From 6 To 16 An Alternate View Of Music To What's Been Available For The Past 20 Years.

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

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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

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 Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

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

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 You Drop Out You Put Yourself Further Away From The Goal Of Life Than If You Were To Keep Working.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I Can See The Beatles Sticking Together Forever, Really. We've Been Together A Long Time.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

People Are All Ignorant, They Fear New Things, They Fear Knowledge Somehow, I Don't Know Why. Everything That I Ever Learned Was Always So Great. I Never Thought So At The Time, It Was Just That Little Bit More In Your Mind An Expansion Of Consciousness Or Awareness.

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

Man Can Become Purified, And With Divine Vision He Can See God. You Get Pure By Chanting, Then You See Him.

I Want To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Music Is Sound, Vibrations, Whereas Paintings Are Vibrations Of Whatever You Pick Up. It's Not Actually An Energy Vibration You Get From A Groovy Painting, But Music And Sound Seem To Travel Along Vibrations, You Know The Whole Thing With Mantras Is To Repeat And Repeat Those Sounds... It's Vibrations In Everything Like Prayers And Hymns.

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.

"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.

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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.

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.

You Can't Understand The First Thing About God Unless You Love Him. These Big So - Called Vedic Scholars - They Don't Necessarily Love Krishna, So They Can't Understand Him And Give Him To Us.

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

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

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.

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.

We Don't Belong Here, But In The Spiritual Sky: As L'm Fated For The Material World, Get Frustrated In The Material World, Senses Never Gratified, Only Swelling Like A Tide, That Could Drown Me In The Material World.

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

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

The Whole Point To Being Here, Really, Is To Figure A Way To Get Out.

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

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

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 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?

The Aim Is To Get As Much Going Out The Back As Is Coming In. You've Got To Do That Because For Everything You Get In You've Got To Give Something Out.

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

We're Now The Results Of Our Past Actions, And In The Future We'll Be The Results Of The Actions We're Performing Now.

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.

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.

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

Show Me That I M Everywhere And Get Me Home For Tea.

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

Everybody Is Looking For Krishna. Some Don't Realize That They Are, But They Are.

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.

What Would You Call This Haircut?" Arthur.

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.

We Laughed A Lot. That's One Thing We Forgot About For A Few Years - Laughing. When We Went Through All The Lawsuits, It Looked As If Everything Was Bleak, But When I Think Back To Before That, I Remember We Used To Laugh All The Time.

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

All Things Must Pass.

All Things Must Pass

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.

Unless You're Doing Some Kind Of God Conscious Thing And You Know That He's The One Who's Really In Charge, You're Just Building Up A Lot Of Karma And Not Really Helping Yourself Or Anybody Else.

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 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.

Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice.

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

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 Saved The World From Boredom.

Food Is Less Important To Me Because I've Learned To Control My Appetite To A Great Extent, Simply By Having My Mind Elsewhere. I Find When I'm Busy Meditating On Other Aspects Of My Life I Go Without Eating And I Don't Miss It.

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

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

Everyone Should Have Themselves Regularly Overwhelmed By Nature

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.

Friends Are All Souls That We've Known In Other Lives. We're Drawn To Each Other. Even If I Have Only Known Them A Day, It Doesn't Matter. I'm Not Going To Wait Till I Have Known Them For Two Years, Because Anyway, We Must Have Met Somewhere Before, You Know.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Chanting Hare Krishna Is A Type Of Meditation That Can Be Practiced Even If The Mind Is In Turbulence. You Can Even Be Doing It And Other Things At The Same Time. That's What's So Nice. In My Life There's Been Many Times The Mantra Brought Things Around. It Keeps Me In Tune With Reality, And The More You Sit In One Place And Chant, The More Incense You Offer To Krishna In The Same Room, The More You Purify The Vibration, The More You Can Achieve What You're Trying To Do, Which Is Just Trying To Remember God, God, God, God, God, As Often As Possible.

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.

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!

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.

In The End, This World Will Go Under Because Of The Stupidity Of People.

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 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'

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.

Dear One, Near Me, Truth Assessed, Reborn Worldwise, Mind At Rest. True Heart Sow You, God Has Blessed, Your Soul Whispers, Love Confessed.

The Microscopes That Magnified The Tears, Studied Warts And All. Still Life Flows On.

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.

The Greek Word For Christ Is Kristos, Which Is, Let's Face It, Krishna, And Kristos Is The Same Name Actually.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I Have Suffered For This Book; Now It's Your Turn.

I Always Really Enjoyed Our Early Days, Before We Got Too Famous. We Used To Play Clubs And That Kind Of Stuff All The Time. And It Was Fun. It Was Good Because You Get To Play And Get Quite Good At The Instrument. But Then We Got Famous, And It Spoiled All That, Because We'd Just Go Round And Round The World Singing The Same 10 Dopey Tunes.

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

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

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.
