quoting George - Kent Ninomiya

Kent Ninomiya. On this day in 2001, George Harrison, lead guitarist and spiritual anchor of the Beatles, died of cancer. He was 58. That was only 6 short years ago. In many ways it seems longer, in many ways shorter. I remember when John Lennon was shot in 1980. I was barely a teenager but I recall how I felt like it was yesterday. Both Lennon's and Harrison's passings came much too soon. In both instances I felt there was so much more they could share with us and that the human race suffered for it. Both deaths seem simultaneous in my mind making Lennon's death more recent and Harrison's more distant.

In honor of George Harrison's passing 6 years ago today... some quotes:

It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.
George Harrison (1943 - 2001)

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.George Harrison (1943 - 2001), "Any Road", Brainwashed, 2002

Life goes on within you and without you.
George Harrison (1943 - 2001), From the song "Within you without you" from Sgt PepperBest
