Real success is doing things right every day by not forgetting to express love to your friends.
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.

Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
Yoko Ono

When you say 'I love you', you are not just saying it to that person. You are saying 'I love you' to yourself, the planet & The Universe.
Yoko Ono
Image
It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
Yoko Ono
Image
You are beautiful. Don't ever think you are not. It may be such a compliment that does not come from a man too often. They are shy, proud, and rude. Give yourself some love. And walk as what you are - a beautiful woman. All your life.
Yoko Ono
Image
Loneliness is equal to the radius of one's awareness.
Yoko Ono
Image
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
Image
Most people think that I am too optimistic, but my optimism is based on the thought that negative thinking is a luxury that we can't afford.
Yoko Ono
Image
You can't dance if you got too much muck in your head.

Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky
