More quotes by Yoko Ono
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
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
The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.
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
Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
Yoko Ono
I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
Yoko Ono
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
Yoko Ono
If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.
Yoko Ono
You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.
Yoko Ono
I am the type of person who would do something thoroughly if someone said, I don't think you can do it. I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
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
I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
Yoko Ono
There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.
Yoko Ono
The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.
Yoko Ono
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
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
There's many women now who think, 'Surely we don't need feminism anymore, we're all liberated and society's accepting us as we are'. Which is just hogwash. It's not true at all.
Yoko Ono
Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.
Yoko Ono
Many incredible artists die before they were famous.
Yoko Ono
Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
Yoko Ono
