About Me
We were talking
about the love we all could share
When we find it
to try our best to hold it there
With our love, with our love
we could save the world
if they only knew
When you've seen
beyond yourself
then you may find
peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one
and life flows on
within you and without you
- George Harrison, Within You, Without You
"George was a giant, a great great soul with all of the humanity, all of the wit and humor, all of the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him." -- Bob Dylan
George was a true friend, intensely loyal, caring deeply for those he loved, and he inspired much love in return. Now I believe, as he did, that he has entered a higher state. God give him peace." -- Beatles producer George Martin
"He was a lovely guy and a very brave man and had a wonderful sense of humor... His music will live on forever." -- Paul McCartney
"George was a best friend of mine. I loved him very much and I will miss him greatly. Both Barbara and I will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter." -- Ringo Starr
"George has given so much to us in his lifetime and continues to do so even after his passing, with his music, his wit and his wisdom. Thank you, George, it was grand knowing you." -- Yoko Ono
"A friend, disciple and son to me. George was a brave and beautiful soul, full of love, child-like humor and a deep spirituality." -- Ravi Shankar, the sitar master who introduced Harrison to Indian music
"George Harrison was not only a musical force in my lifetime, but a spiritual force. One of the things that was so inspiring was his lifelong search to know his God. And if God exists, I don't doubt that George has a place near him." -- Mia Farrow, actress and fellow student of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the '60s
"He died as he lived, with dignity, with bravery and with comedy... I loved him from the first moment I met him and I shall miss his eyes, his laughter, his honesty and his wonderful guitar playing. The world has lost a very fine man but we are all the richer for his life." -- Monty Python's Eric Idle
"Death held no terrors for George at all. He'd got that all worked out. He had spirituality. He said he was going on somewhere else. He didn't want people to greive and feel this was the end." -- Michal Palin of Monty Python's Flying Circus
"There was a certain mysterious and unknowable quality about his music which made him a very attractive figure. It gave a whole other dimension to the Beatles." -- Bono, U2
"As a guitarist, he invented many classic lines that were much copied by others, and he wrote several very beautiful songs that we will always remember. He was a very complex character, both quiet and funny with a very sweet nature, but he also could be rather combative at times. He was the first musician I knew who developed a truly spiritual side, and he was generous with his time to both charity and to friends." -- Mick Jagger
"To me, George was, always will be, above all, a real gentleman, in the full meaning of the word. We both felt we held similar positions in our respective bands, which formed a special knowing bond between us. Let's hope he's jamming with John." -- Keith Richards
"He wasn't a reluctant Beatle. He knew that his place in popular culture was absolutely secure. He was very curmudgeonly about the fame thing. But he was very gentle. I remember him with a profound sense of gratitude." -- Bob Geldof, whose Live Aid benefit concert in the '80s followed in the footsteps of Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh
"He wrote some of the greatest Beatles' songs, but more than that, he had a gentleness and spirituality that made spending time with him a great pleasure" -- Paul Simon
"He was a very loveable person. I would say he was the major cog in the Beatles at that time. He kept them together, probably because of the calming effect he had. He proved that he was a very talented songwriter. I have such fond memories of him and know he will be happy wherever he is." -- first Beatles Manager Alan Williams
"It was my privilege to have been a friend of such a very special man." -- Neil Aspinall of Apple Records
"As someone who shaped our musical and cultural history, his influence cannot be over-estimated. As a musician and a humanitarian, he helped change our world. We are proud to have known him." -- Statement From Apple Records/EMI, the Beatles' record label
"George was not only an exceptionally talented recording artist, but a remarkable and spiritual human being. He touched the world not just through his music, but also through his many generous humanitarian contributions and desire for peace around the world." -- RIAA President & CEO Hilary Rose
