Life goes on within you and without you.
It’s all in the mind.
The first time I took LSD, it just blew everything away. I had such an incredible feeling of well-being.
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.
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.
As far as I’m concerned, there won’t be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
Gossip is the Devil’s radio.
I remember thinking I just want more. This isn’t it. Fame is not the goal. Money is not the goal. To be able to know how to get peace of mind, how to be happy, is something you don’t just stumble across. You’ve got to search for it.
The saddest thing was actually getting fed up with one another. It’s like growing up in a family. When you get to a certain age, you want to go off and get your own girl and your own car, split up a bit.
Some things take so long But how do I explain When not too many people Can see we’re all the same And because of all their tears Your eyes can’t hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Now, isn’t it a pity.
Hippies are so phoney and fake.
Your own space, man, it’s so important. That’s why we were doomed because we didn’t have any. It is like monkeys in a zoo. They die. You know, everything needs to be left alone.
Without looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven.
Even if it’s being a Beatle for the rest of my life, it’s still only a temporary thing.
I didn’t notice him coming, but he didn’t seem to be looking for an autograph signature.
I don’t want to be a film star. I don’t even want to be a pop star. I just want to live in peace.
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street; if you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat; if you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat; if you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Life is like a rain drop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realises that you’re either very lucky person or you’re not.
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.
I’m really quite simple. I don’t want to be in the business full time because I’m a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. I don’t go out to clubs and partying. I stay at home and watch the river flow.
