A biography for George Harrisonhasn’t been written yet.
“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”
“People say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but to me, that's what life's about.”
“The Beatles will exist without us.”
“I'll tell you one thing for sure: once you get to the point where you're actually doing things for truth's sake, then nobody can ever touch you again because you're harmonizing with a greater power.”
“If I write a tune and people think it's nice, then that's fine by me, but I hate having to compete and promote the thing. I really don't like promotion.”
“If we were all perfected beings, we wouldn't be here in the physical world.”
“With every mistake, we must surely be learning.”
“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.”
“What good are three Beatles without John?”
“Because we were all from Liverpool, we favored people who were street people.”
“We were the Spice Boys.”
“I wanted to collaborate with someone, but it had to be someone I could work with and who wouldn't disrespect my past.”
“Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait.”
“It was all part of being a Beatle, really: just getting lugged around and thrust into rooms full of press men taking pictures and asking questions.”
“There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.”
“I wanted to be successful, not famous.”
“Love one another.”
“They gave their money, and they gave their screams. But the Beatles kind of gave their nervous systems. They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did, and then blamed it on us.”
“The Beatles exist apart from myself. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion, and until the end of my life, people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.”
“As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.”
