I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, "You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don’t need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it’s the very best, and it’s the part I give most willingly." (ang.)
The Beatles: Pięćdziesiąt cudownych lat
George Harrison słynne cytaty
„Z tego, co wiem, nie ma szans na zjednoczenie Beatlesów, tak długo jak Lennon pozostaje martwy.”
As far as I’m concerned, there won’t be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead. (ang.)
oświadczenie prasowe (1989), nawiązujące do propozycji McCartneya o ponownej współpracy jako The Beatles.

I got born seemingly to become Beatle George. But it doesn’t really matter who you are or what you are, because that’s only a temporary sort of tag for a limited sort of period of years. (ang.)
The Beatles: Pięćdziesiąt cudownych lat
I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock ’n’ roll band. I don’t really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front. (ang.)
o powitaniu zespołu The Beatles przez ponad 300 tys. fanów przed koncertem w Adelaide (czerwiec, 1964)
„To jest tak, że Bóg mnie lubi kiedy pracuję, ale kocha, gdy śpiewam.”
And it’s like God likes me when I work, but loves me when I sing. (ang.)
