More quotes by Yoko Ono
The Beatles were a group made up of four very complex men, and my small hand could not have broken these men up.
Yoko Ono
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.
Yoko Ono
What a beautiful future it will be! Don't worry about life being boring. It will never be.
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
People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.
Yoko Ono
Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.
Yoko Ono
I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.
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'm not giving any guidance, OK. I mean, you know, mothers are not supposed to give guidance, right? Anyway, so he's [Sean] doing his own thing.
Yoko Ono
Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.
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
Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism they couldn't do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.
Yoko Ono
The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.
Yoko Ono
I get very sad when I think about Vietnam where there seems to be no choice but violence. This violence goes on for centuries perpetuating itself.
Yoko Ono
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'
Yoko Ono
I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.
Yoko Ono
The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.
Yoko Ono
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Yoko Ono
You know, something happened to me when I became 70. I started to feel a tremendous love for the human race, and life and this planet, the universe, the whole shebang.
Yoko Ono
