“It doesn’t really matter what chords I play, what words I say or time of day it is, as it’s only a Northern Song.”

It is an outrage that people can take other people’s lives when they obviously haven’t got their own lives in order.

It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.

God is actually inside. He lives in our hearts.

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street; if you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat; if you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat; if you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.

Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed by Nature.

Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life.

We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.

Everybody is worried about dying, but the cause of death is birth, so if you don’t want to die, you don’t get born!

Sometimes I feel like I’m actually on the wrong planet. It’s great when I’m in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate I think, ‘What the hell am I doing here?

With our love, we could save the world.

It’s all in the mind.

Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within.

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.

Heaven and hell is right now. You make it heaven or you make it hell by your actions.

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.

And the time will come when you see, we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

There’s certainly more work for me in TV these days.

Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren’t necessarily the most wonderful athletes.

From that day on it was as if Ren freed me from gravity. I was floating in the sky. Higher. Higher. Higher.

Imagine one day, the hateful world around you collapses. And it is your attitude, words and actions that put an end to it. Will you be excited?

Yet just as the day has two halves, one governed by the sun and the other by the moon.

I often went entire days without speaking – unable to get a word in over my inner taskmaster, who never shut up:

In the days that followed I couldn’t stop thinking about him. It made me believe maybe there was such thing as love at first sight, if not between a girl and a boy, then at least between a girl and a horse.

Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas.
