15 of George Harrison’s best quotes
Just days short of 74 years ago, one of the most talented musicians in history was born – George Harrison. Throughout his 58 years of life, he produced some of the most unforgettable songs of all time, both as a member of The Beatles and as a solo artist. To celebrate the life of “the quiet Beatle”, we take a look at some of his best quotes.
- “As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.”
- “With our love, we could save the world.”
- “When you’ve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.”
- “Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.”
- “I wanted to be successful, not famous.”
- “You’ve got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don’t want.”
- “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.”
- “All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.”
- “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.”
- “With every mistake, we must surely be learning.”
- “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 more I go inside, the more there is to see.”
- “Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed by nature.”
- “Experience is the main reason why we’re here, I think, in the world – to gain experience. And from our experience we gain knowledge... and if we get any knowledge, then we gain liberation.”
- “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.”
