You know the reason The Beatles made it so big?…’I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not...

All You Need Is Love” in homage to their memory.

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as...

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

It would have been the first time the Beatles and Stones collaborated on stage I suppose. We have played together on record in the past.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, the whole world would be vegetarian.

It reveals the inspiration behind the 1967 Beatles classic I am the Walrus.

Nothing is real.

(Media question to Beatles during first U.S. tour 1964)”How do you find America?””Turn left at Greenland.

Show me that I m everywhere and get me home for tea.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.

Eleanor Rigby.” It’s true, where do they all come from? And where do they all belong?

Haiti is my country. The same way the Beatles are received in England – that’s how Wyclef Jean is received in Haiti, do you know what I mean?

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

I was the walrus, but now I am John…and so my friends, you’ll just have to carry on. The dream is over.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement,...

I think I’m supposed to “take a sad song and make it better,” but that’s beyond my musical ability

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

All you could do was to see them. We were backstage when the Beatles were on and you could just about hear a noise. It was just literally screaming.

It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we...

Whatever gets you through the night

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

I have been around for 35 years. I have met Elvis Presley, Elton John, John Lennon, all the Beatles. I have never ever seen anything like that and I hope I never will see it...

I wasn’t saying whatever they’re saying I was saying. I’m sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still...

I declare that The Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species, a young race of laughing freemen.

It’s all in the mind.

We all shine on…like the moon and the stars and the sun…we all shine on…come on and on and on…

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe.

chefs with three Michelin stars were the culinary equivalent of the Beatles or Rolling Stones — they were sorcerers.

…Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I don’t know what will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. We’re more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick...

Anyway, there is one thing I have learned and that is not to dress uncomfortably, in styles which hurt: winklepicker shoes that cripple your feet and tight pants that squash your balls. Indian clothes are...

I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.

The more I see, the less I know for sure.

And, in the endThe love you takeis equal to the love you make.

War is over … If you want it.

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.

I did not become great by association of The Beatles! Beatles make Maharishi great? Pah! It is a waste of thought.

There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be…

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you, Tomorrow I’ll miss you.

Always add a bit of salt to your sweetness !

One thing you can’t hide – is when you’re crippled inside.

Even if it’s being a Beatle for the rest of my life, it’s still only a temporary thing.

Like almost all of Beefheart’s recorded work, it was not even “ahead” of its time in 1969. Then and now, it stands outside time, trends, fads, hypes, the rise and fall of whole genres eclectic...

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.

I said to him, “State your business, mortal!” There was no need for me to call him “mortal” or to speak like a sixteenth-century knight. It just sounded cool.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that… I believe in what I do, and I’ll say...
