I don't wear small shoes, or tight pants that squash your balls.
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.
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.
Even if it's being a Beatle for the rest of my life, it's still only a temporary thing.
Do what you want to do, And go where you're going to. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you.

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 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!
All religions are branches of one big tree.
Oh yeah, gossip. I heard you on the secret wireless. You know the devil's radio child.
