True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.

More quotes by 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
In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?
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
I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.
Yoko Ono
We know that our cells are speaking to each other.
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
We get shy about saying things like I love you. Life is so short. It's crazy, that we hesitate to express our true thoughts to each other.
Yoko Ono
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
Yoko Ono
Your private life is really very important for you. You know, all of us, you know.
Yoko Ono
Women artists are still treated differently from men.
Yoko Ono
Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.
Yoko Ono
Everyone is an artist and a genius, I think. If we don't choose to limit ourselves then we are totally accomplished.
Yoko Ono
But only art and music have the power to bring 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
I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.
Yoko Ono
There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.
Yoko Ono
If someone is unpleasant to you, draw a halo around his or her head in your mind. He/she is an angel who came to teach you something.
Yoko Ono
People say that this new generation is so used to the Internet that their heads are already different. They can't read a book from beginning to end. That is not a tragedy. The book changes form.
Yoko Ono
I never want projects to be finished I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'
Yoko Ono
