"Whoever slept with George woke up with him wrapped around them"
-Paul McCartney
"George told me once that I smelt like home. I got all paranoid, you know, thinking I smelt of fish and chip shops or dirty bars or something. But he said no, I just always smelt of home."
-Paul McCartney
"They used to jump on me. George used to wake me up by tickling my feet."
– Paul McCartney
"God, my mate George, isn’t he a good-looking boy!"
- Paul McCartney
"I knew George long before the others. We were good chums despite his tender years as it seemed to me then. We were always together. He lived near me in Upton Green and I lived in Ardwick Road, half a mile away, so we took the same bus to the same school, and then we got guitars at the same time. We went through the Bert Weedon books and learned D and A together and we were quite big buddies then. That was something I’d missed for all those years"
-Paul McCartney
"Thing is, there’s a lot about me and George that the public don’t know about, and I like it better that way. That night was very personal, and very special to me. It’s one of my favourite memories."
-Paul McCartney
"I'll always love him, he's my baby brother."
-Paul McCartney
George was always my favorite Beatle. ❤️

GLOBAL BEATLES DAY | June 25 “They were always original, and that’s thing that came across from beginning to end. These people thought differently from everybody else, and that’s why they made it to the very top.” – Mark Lewisohn
"This blurring of sexual lines was part of the creative mix of the culture, but it also had its dark side. The homoerotic subculture had as a nasty by-product a virulent strain of misogyny. .. the [redlands] trial and acquittal bonded Mick and Keith--but it created a very odd dynamic. For Keith it was just an alliance within the group, but for mick it was a lot more than that. It has all the irrationally and passion of a love affair. Lennon and McCartney had a similar bond between them".----Marianne Faithfull

“I know with John Lennon, John Lennon’s an amazing person who is brilliant, is brilliant. There is no question about it. John Lennon is a saint and he is heavy duty and he is great and I love him. But, at the same time, he is such a bastard. But that’s the great thing about him.” - George Harrison, 1975
“I think probably so much has been said about [John] already. But occasionally, you know, you miss him, because it would be fun to hang out with him. But at the same time, what I’ve got to be believe in over the years is the spiritual thing, that death is only like changing your suit. So now you’re in your physical body, and you’re in your astral body…” - George Harrison on John Lennon, 1987
“[John] was great, he was brilliant, and he was a great soul. Still is.” - George Harrison, Guitar World, April 1988
Sir Paul was asked if Lennon were alive, which McCartney song he would like him to play. He said: ''Maybe I'm Amazed came into my mind. That would be interesting to hear him sing that.''
…
Asked if he had to choose a song to be remembered by, Sir Paul said: ''Your songs are like your babies, you don't want to have a favourite. But Maybe I'm Amazed - 'cos John's got to sing it.”

Is it true that after recording "real love" Paul took jeff lynne in his arms and said "oh john, give us a kiss"?
It didn’t happen during “Real Love” recording, but during ‘Free as a bird’ recording. Jeff Lynne said it in 2007, in an interview for Q Magazine.
