"I'd rather be a musician than a rock star." "Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another." (his last public statement, issued after his death) "It's a shame Paul can't be here because he was the one who had the speech in his pocket." (At his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame). On his teenage years in Liverpool: "You couldn't get a cup of sugar, let alone a Rock n' Roll record." "People are simply screwing up when they go out and buy beefsteak, which is killing them with cancer and heart troubles. The stuff costs a fortune too. You could feed a thousand people with lentil soup for the cost of half a dozen filets." (Ironically, Harrison continued to smoke cigarettes until the 1990s.) "It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite." "I got it purely from smoking. Luckily, they found that this nodule was more of a warning than anything else. I'm not going to die on you folks just yet. Life is like a raindrop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realizes that you are either a very lucky person or you're not." (On his battle with throat cancer in 1997)
