Yoko Ono
My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music.
Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono
Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.
Yoko Ono
I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
Yoko Ono
