But you can’t see it on this level, so it’s all right. Don’t worry.” - George Harrison, Creem, December 1987/January 1988“He left this world as he lived in it, conscious of God, fearless of death, and at peace, surrounded by family and friends. He often said, ‘Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another.’” - Harrison Family statement, November 2001“The silence of George’s absence in our lives is deafening. Although he often renounced his role as an entertainer, my life with him was never boring. There were many comedies and a few tragedies but, most of all, deep love for all living things. He was a warrior who faced life’s battles with extraordinary courage. In the words of Bob Dylan, ‘He had the strength of a hundred men.‘ […] Besides the company, conversation and wisdom of my beloved friend, I already long for the live background music of our lives. If I began to sing a song — any song — he would accompany and encourage me. If I played three chords on the uke (compulsory instrument in our home), he would be my band. George was so generous and ‘grateful to anyone that is happy or free.‘ A good moment to him was always worth making better. I love you, George. The joys, sorrows, lessons and love we shared are more than enough to fill my heart until we meet again.” - Olivia Harrison, Harrison (2002)“He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all the humanity, all the wit and humor, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon, and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him.” - Bob Dylan, Rolling Stone, 17 January 2002 (x) -- source link
