Top Ten Beatles Quotes From A Millennial Perspective

The Beatles. Not only did they shape the music industry and hit the world by storm upon amassing millions of fangirls and boys, they also influenced an entire generation. Many tried to imitate them but nobody could rock their hair do's better - or top their words of wisdom, jokes, and the sheer magnitude of personality that defined the The Fab Four. Here are the best quotes

10.

“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.” ― John Lennon

John Lennon, who died at 40 years old from murder constantly spread the message “Give Peace a Chance.”, and “Love is the Answer.” Whenever John Lennon spoke, people tended to listen, because his liberating ideas on music, and culture. Love and peace shaped so many of his morals, which in that era was well needed.

9.

“I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.” ― Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney was a teenagers heartthrob in the sixties, and not only did he have a voice of gold, but a personality of gold too. His quirkiness made people love him, and made him and his music well known, even after he flew solo with “Paul McCartney and Wings."


8.

“How do you find America?” “Turn left at Greenland.” ― Ringo Starr

During The Beatles first American tour in 1964, none other than Ringo Starr had the best response to an American interviewer. His sense of humor made Ringo a very well likable man, and entertainer. His drumming was a huge part of their band, playing not only interesting but well-made pieces of work.

7.

“Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you, Tomorrow I’ll miss you.” ― Paul McCartney

The song that started Beatlemania - “All My Loving.” Although it was released on November 22nd, 1963, it was performed on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964, and ended up being one of their top hits and had women swooning at their feet for nearly a decade

6.

“For those of you in the cheap seats I’d like ya to clap your hands to this one; the rest of you can just rattle your jewelry!” ― John Lennon

One of my personal all time favorite quotes by Lennon, during the Royal Variety Performance in November of 1963 where they performed for the Queen of England right before the song “Twist and Shout.” His way of interacting with fans was very impressionable because he could poke fun and understand his audience.

5.

"And when the brokenhearted people - Living in the world agree - There will be an answer, let it be” ― Paul McCartney

This song was a VERY personal song to Sir. McCartney modeled after a dream he had, where “Mother Mary” (AKA his mother) came and visited him, reassuring him that everything is going to be okay, which he then projected into a song, becoming a song people used for peace anthems everywhere - so move over John Lennon!

4.

"Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?” “Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles.” ― John Lennon

Poor Ringo, always being the butt of everyone’s jokes, their “least favorite Beatle”, and ignored but it’s okay! All you need is love, and I said it’s alright Ringo is a charmer, and that is what he is known for.

3.

“There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done - Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung,- Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game - It’s easy - All you need is love.”

On June 25th, 1967 The Beatles performed in front of over 350 MILLION people worldwide on a television broadcast called “Our World” with a very short notice. The one and only John Lennon stepped up to the bat, writing about what he knows best - peace and love, man - peace and love.

2.

“And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain - Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders - For well, you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool - By making his world a little colder” ― Paul McCartney

Although many thought “Hey Jude” was about John Lennon’s newest lover Yoko Ono and her influence and strain on the band, it was actually about John Lennon’s son, Julian. Originally “Hey Jules”, this song was a song of positivity. These lyrics show that you can face adversity more than when John Lennon said that they were bigger than Jesus.

1.

“Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra- La-la how the life goes on” ― Paul McCartney

One of The Beatles most upbeat hits, was originally supposed to be a slow song. John Lennon, who reportedly hated this song barged into the recording studio after listening to Paul try and play it slowly sixty times. Lennon ended up playing the piano very upbeat, which shaped this, and the rest of “The White Album.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
