More quotes by Yoko Ono
Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.
Yoko Ono
Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.
Yoko Ono
I always thought that I was an important musician. If you don't have that confidence, why would you go on and do it?
Yoko Ono
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
Yoko Ono
What is beauty? It's what you love.
Yoko Ono
I never thought I would go into the dance charts.
Yoko Ono
Love is an incredibly strong thing, it goes everywhere, it's like water, you can't stop it. Love, once you have it, once you create a kind of pathway for it to come out, it just keeps on coming out.
Yoko Ono
When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible
Yoko Ono
Japanese are very proud and workaholics. Proud workaholics.
Yoko Ono
I never thought, I'm going to be an artist. When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist, which is true.
Yoko Ono
When I was 4 years old my mother put me into an early music education school. That's where they taught you perfect pitch and harmony and how to write music and all that. At that time, one of the homeworks was to listen to all the sounds and the noise of a day and transfer that into musical notes.
Yoko Ono
Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
Yoko Ono
In the present age when communication is so rapid, we should create a different tradition, traditions are created everyday. Five years now is like 100 years before. We are living in a society that has no history. There’s no precedent for this kind of society so we can break the old patterns.
Yoko Ono
Be kind to yourself this evening. Buy something for yourself. Treat yourself to a meal. Look in the mirror and give yourself a smile
Yoko Ono
When you are totally depressed, you should try giggling. Just make yourself laugh. Force yourself to laugh.
Yoko Ono
Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono
You can be very wild and still be very wise
Yoko Ono
you don't need talent to be an artist. 'Artist' is just a frame of mind. Anybody can be an artist, anybody can communicate if they are desperate enough.
Yoko Ono
When you go on a stage, before you go on a stage you're really scared and you're really frightened. You don't know what to do. Why did I say yes to this? But once you're on the stage you think, Okay.
Yoko Ono
Sometimes I have compared myself with a scientist or something: when you discover something and you don't expect the whole world to understand it. I always thought I was doing that kind of activity, in art and in music too.
Yoko Ono
