Quotes and Lyrics by The Beatles

You're now the cute on of the group. Paul, meet Ringo. Ringo, Paul.

Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter, David Beckham's right foot, David Beckham's left foot.

The UK... the country that gave the world The Beatles and then punished it with Coldplay.

It was a weird stage of my life, to leave Simon & Garfunkel at the height of our success and become a math teacher. I would talk them through a math problem and ask if anyone had any questions, and they would say, 'What were the Beatles like?'

As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.

The Beatles will exist without us.

The Beatles saved the world from boredom.

Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.

Of all the '60s - there was Elvis, there was the Beatles, there was the British invasion, Jimmy Hendrix, and Woodstock - the No. 1 record was "The Twist".

In the late '60s, there were the the three B's: The Beatles, Batman, and Bond.

That was the summer of 1963 - when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.

It was my love for the guitar that first got me into music and singing. Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a simple question: they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals. As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients' needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and families. Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that.

We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.
