Having played with other musicians, I don't even think The Beatles were that good.
We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.
It's in the films and songs and all your magazines. It's everywhere that you may go, the devil's radio.
Dear one, near me, truth assessed, reborn worldwise, mind at rest. True heart sow you, God has blessed, your soul whispers, love confessed.
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.
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.
It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry, than it is to dry their eyes.

You go on being reincarnated until you reach the actual Truth. Heaven and Hell are just a state of mind. We are all here to become Christ-like. The actual world is an illusion.
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 Beatles saved the world from boredom.
All I got to be is be happy.
