Global Beatles Day Quotes: 25 Sayings To Remember One Of The Biggest Bands Of All Time

Global Beatles Day was founded, not with commercial purposes, but to commemorate the band's music and celebrate them collectively and individually. Even further than Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison's magical tunes, The Beatles were huge on promoting peace and love, truth and youth, and most of all, the expansion of human consciousness. They explored the expansion of rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, until they innovated and found new ways to make music. GBD is celebrated on June 25 because the hit song “All you need is love” was performed by The Beatles on the BBC-produced program, Our World, on that same day in 1967.

In order to celebrate the four musicians, we have compiled a series of their greatest quotes; some of which made it into their song lyrics, and others just went down in history.
