Harrison: "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."

Harrison: "I'm really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow... I stay at home and watch the river flow."

Harrison: "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."

Harrison: "When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there."

Harrison: "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."

Harrison: "Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait."

Harrison: "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."

Harrison: "It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite."

Harrison: "I don't think the Beatles were that good. I think they're fine, you know. Ringo's got the best backbeat I've ever heard... Paul is a fine bass player... but he's a bit overpowering at times."

Harrison: "To tell the truth, I'd join a band with John Lennon any day, but I couldn't join a band with Paul McCartney, but it's nothing personal. It's just from a musical point of view."

Harrison: "Hippies are so phoney and fake."

Harrison: "I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'"

Harrison: "If we were all perfected beings, we wouldn't be here in the physical world."

Harrison: "People are simply screwing up when they go out and buy beefsteak, 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."

Harrison: "Some of the best songs that I know are the ones I haven't written yet, and it doesn't even matter if I don't ever write them, because it's only small potatoes compared with the big picture."

Harrison: "In the big picture, it doesn't really matter if we never made a record, or we never sang a song. That isn't important."

Harrison: "Basically, I feel fortunate to have realized what the goal is in life. There's no point in dying having gone through your life without knowing who you are, what you are, or what the purpose of life is. And that's all it is."

Harrison: "Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. But I don't think that suddenly some magic happens and the whole lot of us will all be liberated in one throw."

Harrison: "All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much."

Harrison: "In the end, you're trying to find God. That's the result of not being satisfied. And it doesn't matter how much money, or property, or whatever you've got, unless you're happy in your heart, then that's it. And unfortunately, you can never gain perfect happiness unless you've got that state of consciousness that enables that."

Harrison: "The Beatles saved the world from boredom."

Harrison: "At death, you're going to be needing some spiritual guidance and some kind of inner knowledge that extends beyond the boundaries of the physical world... it's what's inside that counts."

Harrison: "I just got so fed up with the bad vibes. I didn't care if it was the Beatles; I was getting out."

Harrison: "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."
