Quote by George Harrison

The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.

The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle

Summary

In this quote, George Harrison, a member of the musical group The Beatles, reflects on the identity and perception of his public persona. He expresses that the character of "Beatle George" is separate from his true self, akin to a garment he occasionally wore. Despite his association with that image, Harrison acknowledges that people may continue to associate him with that persona even after his life, mistaking it for his essence. The quote captures the notion of how public perception can blur the line between a person's true identity and their projected image.
