More quotes by Yoko Ono
If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy.
Yoko Ono
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.
Yoko Ono
When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.
Yoko Ono
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
Art is an effort to make you walk a half an inch above ground.
Yoko Ono
You may think I’m small, but I have a universe inside my mind.
Yoko Ono
I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.
Yoko Ono
In a way the new music showed things could be transformed by new channels of communication.
Yoko Ono
The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.
Yoko Ono
If your life changes, we can change the world, too.
Yoko Ono
Words are power. And a book is full of words. Be careful what power you get from it. But know that you do.
Yoko Ono
I think something that's very important for us to communicate is usually very simple. Like breathing: Breathing is very simple. You don't do a dissonant 9th harmony or something in breathing. You just breathe, you know. I think that's how it is with very important messages.
Yoko Ono
Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'
Yoko Ono
If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
Yoko Ono
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
Yoko Ono
Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.
Yoko Ono
I get very nervous before I get on the stage, but once I'm on the stage, I'm just, you know, me. Nothing hurts me.
Yoko Ono
I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.
Yoko Ono
I'm not going to doubt my life.
Yoko Ono
