"God is a concept by which we measure our pain."
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
"Conquering America was the best thing. You see we wanted to be bigger than Elvis - that was the main thing. At first we wanted to be Goffin and King, then we wanted to be Eddie Cochran. then we wanted to be Buddy Holly, and finally we arrived at wanting to be bigger than the biggest -and that was Elvis. -' ~We reckoned we could make it because there were four of us. None of us would've made it alone, because Paul wasn't quite strong enough, I didn't have enough girl-appeal, George was too quiet, and Ringo was the drummer. But we thought that everyone would be able to dig at least one of us, and that's how it turned out."
(On taking LSD) "It went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time."
[glow=green,2,300]Paul:[/glow]
"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
" 'Finger pie' is just a nice little joke for the Liverpool lads who like a bit of smut."
“It’s really rare when you get a good group of musicians.”
"I think the 'Just say no' mentality is so crazed. I saw a thing in a women's magazine the other day. 'He smokes cannabis, what am I to do? He laughs it off when I try to tell him, he says it's not really harmful...' Of course you're half hoping the advice will be, 'Well, you know it's not that harmful; if you love him, if you talk to him about it, tell him maybe he should keep it in the garden shed or something,' you know, a reasonable point of view. But of course it was, 'No, no, all drugs are bad. Librium's good, Valium's good. But cannabis, ooooh!' I hate that unreasoned attitude."
"It's great, it sold, it's the bloody Beatles White Album, shut up!"
[glow=green,2,300]Ringo:[/glow]
"I used to wish that I could write songs like the others -and I've tried, but I just can't I can get the words all right, but whenever I think of a tune and sing it to the others they always say 'Yeah, it sounds like such-a-thing,' and when they point it out I see what they mean." <-- We love you anyway, Ringo! ;D
"I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs."
"There's a woman in the United States who predicted the plane we were traveling on would crash. Now, a lot of people would like to think we were scared into saying a prayer. What we did actually--we drank."
(On arriving in the States to see crowds of screaming fans) "So this is America. They must be out of their minds."
[glow=green,2,300]George:[/glow]
"There's high, and there's high, and to get really high--I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high--that's where I'm goin'."
"I’ll play what you want or I won’t play at all."
"I think the popular music has gone truly weird. It's either cutesy-wutesy or it's hard, nasty stuff. It's good that this [Beatles music] has life again with the youth."
"Hippies are so phoney and fake." <-- Go you, George!
Please share some of your faves.
