More quotes by Yoko Ono
There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.
Yoko Ono
Real success is doing things right every day by not forgetting to express love to your friends.
Yoko Ono
Some people don't listen to my music because they say that I am an artist. And some don't want to go to my gallery shows, because they say I am a musician.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.
Yoko Ono
Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.
Yoko Ono
I want to incite people to loosen their oppression by giving them something to work with, to build on. They shouldn't be frightened of creating themselves - that's why I make things very open, with things for people to do.
Yoko Ono
I am aware of the sufferings of women in India, which is also the suffering of women in many, many countries on our planet. My heart is filled with empathy and love for them.
Yoko Ono
I think something that's very important for us to communicate is usually very simple. Like breathing: Breathing is very simple. You don't do a dissonant 9th harmony or something in breathing. You just breathe, you know. I think that's how it is with very important messages.
Yoko Ono
The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.
Yoko Ono
Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.
Yoko Ono
Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.
Yoko Ono
The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.
Yoko Ono
But think of the violence, it could happen to your kids.
Yoko Ono
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
Yoko Ono
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
Yoko Ono
The people have got to trust in themselves.
Yoko Ono
You're filled with so much life. Is there any reason why all of us are not full of life?
Yoko Ono
World peace is one project that we have to do together.
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
