More quotes by Yoko Ono
Love is what I give to the one I love.
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
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
Women artists are still treated differently from men.
Yoko Ono
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.
Yoko Ono
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
Yoko Ono
We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
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 only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano.
Yoko Ono
Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.
Yoko Ono
In the Second World War, I was a little girl. I was evacuated in my country.
Yoko Ono
You change the world by being yourself.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you should always stay calm in a tense situation, because you might not ever confront the problem. Maybe it's better to actually let yourself be tense - and find a solution.
Yoko Ono
Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it into the sea with flowers.
Yoko Ono
Tell the Earth how much you care, how beautiful she is, and how much you love her. Ask for her forgiveness for having been so careless.
Yoko Ono
If you're criticized then you can use it as an experience. Compliments, you can't use.
Yoko Ono
Anger is an emotion that is very energetic. It is an ideal emotion to turn it around to make it work as a positive force.
Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Yoko Ono
Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are.
Yoko Ono
Dance music makes us dance. Let us get off our couch and spin around!
Yoko Ono
