George Harrison

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

I play a little guitar, write a few tunes, make a few movies, but none of thats really me. The real me is something else.

When youve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

Im really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow... I stay at home and watch the river flow.

“Its being here now thats important. Theres no past and theres no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we cant relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we dont know if there is one.”
