For the forest to be green, each tree must be green.
As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
I fell in love, not with anything or anybody in particular but with everything.
Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life
With our love, we could save the world.
And the time will come when you see we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
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 better.
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.

We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.
It's in the films and songs and all your magazines. It's everywhere that you may go, the devil's radio.
Dear one, near me, truth assessed, reborn worldwise, mind at rest. True heart sow you, God has blessed, your soul whispers, love confessed.
I'd rather stay home and watch the tube than go out and make myself into a spectacle. I'm not uncomfortable with a social life, but it doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't seem to accomplish anything - it just leaves one wanting for more.
When people come up to me expecting me to be just like what they thought a Beatle would be, they're disappointed. I never was a Beatle, except musically. I don't think any of us was. What is a Beatle anyway? I'm not a Beatle or an ex-Beatle or even the George Harrison. I'm just a man. Very ordinary.
