“I Wanna Hold Your Hand.â€� First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have a feeling that they can’t hide.”
― Rachel Cohn, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Timequake

“The Beatles saved the world from boredom.”
― George Harrison

“Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy.
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need.”
― John Lennon

“Some details in life may look insignificant but appear to be vital leitmotifs in a person's life. They may have the value of "Rosebuds" of Citizen Kane or "Madeleine cookies" of Marcel Proust or "Strawberry fields" of the Beatles. People regularly walk down the memory lane of their early youth. The paper boats of their childhood are recurrently floating on the waves of their mind and bring back the mood and the spirit of the early days. They enable us to retreat from the trivial, daily worries and can generate delightful bliss and true joy in a sometimes frantic and chaotic life. ("Paper boats forever" )”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Peace and love, peace and love!”
― Ringo Starr

“That's it really; it's all love, whichever way you look at it, it's all love. How much you can get from each other and that's determined by how much you're giving to each other. But it all starts within our self and then it spreads to those around us, good and bad. But basically, that's it, I think it's the love that we can generate is equal to the love that we get back ... Amen.”
― George Harrison, Cloud Nine

“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.”
― George Harrison, I, Me, Mine

“Love, Love, Love. All you need is love. Love is all you need.”
― John Lennon

“Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head.”
― Paul McCartney

“I liked AC/DC," Lee said. "If you were going to shoot someone, you'd really want to do it while you were listening to them."
"What about the Beatles? Did you feel like shooting anyone listening to them?"
Lee considered seriously for a moment, then said, "Myself."
At the same time he was laughing, Ig was distressed. Not liking the Beatles was almost as bad as not knowing about them at all.”
― Joe Hill, Horns

“Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better.”
― The Beatles

“First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful love song of the past fifty years can be traced back to ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.â€� And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding. Trust me. I’ve thought a lot about this.

“Life goes on, brah!”
― The Beatles

“I just got into the Beatles a couple of years ago, you know, I like it.”
― Ziggy Marley

“None of it mattered, because there was music.”
― Erin Entrada Kelly, Blackbird Fly

“Mother Superior jump the gun...
-The Beatles, Happiness is a Warm Gun”
― Lauren Myracle, Bliss

“I'm on a suicide mission. John, Paul, George, and Ringo get to go home, but my long and winding road ends here. I must have known all this when I volunteered. But to my amnesia-riddled brain this is new information. I'm going to die out here. And I'm going to die alone.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“I was troubled by the Beatles, by the contradiction between their jaunty, harmoniously innocent warbling, and the calculating cynical worldview that seemed to underlie it. All the time they had been pleasing that girl, the Beatles had been keeping tally, resenting her for making them show her the way, waiting to be pleased in return. They went on about how they worked like a dog to make money to buy her things, and in exchange she had to give them everything. What if she didn't? What if she didn't know how?”
― Elif Batuman, The Idiot

“Captain Midlands: "I met the real you once."
John (Lennon) the Skrull: "You're meeting the real me now."
Captain Midlands: "I told him to get his bleedin' hair cut.”
― Paul Cornell, X-Men: Wisdom - Rudiments of Wisdom

“,,, It's been a hard day. Night. Whatever. A hard day's night.' I lie back in the bunk, and pull the blanket over me.

'That sentence make no sense.'

'It's an Earth saying. From a song.' I close my eyes and mumble. '...and I've been working like a dog...”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“The gospel according to music was written by John, Paul, George and Ringo.”
― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“The James Bond movies are The Beatles of the movie industry. The world can never stop talking about them after watching them.”
― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“John Lennon once claimed that his band, The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Lennon’s life paralleled Christ’s - both came from nothing, became figureheads of worldwide cults and changed the world. They also had premature, painful and undeserved deaths at the hands of others who envied and craved their abilities, influence and popularity. In the late Sixties, Lennon even seemed to adopt a Christ-like image with his long hair, beard and the various robes he started wearing, perhaps as a sly visual parody of his previous remarks.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.”
― Thomas Dekker, The Pleasant Comodie of Patient Grissill

“The Rolling Stones merging with The Beatles. That’s what I imagine whenever Trump talks about Canada merging with the United States. Would they be waging war with music or would they be waging war against music?”
― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“The Roller Trip by Stewart Stafford

A psychedelic Rolls-Royce ride,
Lennons and pals giggle inside,
Chauffeur whistles as secrets slip,
Hourglass liquid lets sentience rip.

Supplied narcotics set minds ablaze,
Looping the loop in a magenta haze:
"Ladies & Germs, to a scene obscene!
Set sail to ecstasy we've never seen!"

Wheels whirled wild in a swirling blur,
Yokels mouth breathe where cows concur,
Red light flare, fans storm captive glass,
Mary Jane and Lucy on laughing gas.

Below the speed limit, warp speed fast,
Canary oil slides on a ghost ship's mast,
Paisley spermatozoa in jigging fright,
Tumbling back to earth as day flipped night.

“I am always being asked: ‘What are the Beatles really like?â€� I never know quite what to say because they are what they are and anyone who has ever seen or heard them either in person, or on radio or screen has, basically, as much chance as I have of knowing what they are like. I believe and I must say it, that they are quite magnificent human beings, utterly honest, often irritating but splendid citizens shining in a very ordinary, not very pleasing world.”
― Brian Epstein, A Cellarful of Noise: The Autobiography of the Man Who Made the Beatles With a New Companion Narrative

“Johnâ€� Paulâ€� George. And Ringo. Collectively the four most famous names in the world. Extraordinary young men who have directly altered the lives of hundreds, even thousands of people. Who have affected the entire balance of the entertainment industry, who have kicked up so much dust that in all our lifetimes, it will not completely settle.”
