More quotes by Yoko Ono
These days, DJ's are the ones who are bringing fresh sounds to the music world. In fact, they are creating a new spatial music. They are the space transformers of the universe.
Yoko Ono
We need to really do something about the world. Otherwise, we're all going to blow up together.
Yoko Ono
But only art and music have the power to bring peace.
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
My father was a banker, but he was an independent spirit. He was a very good pianist and very much into music.
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
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.
Yoko Ono
I think I'm an observer in a way. And my life was not so - well, my life was bad too - but it's just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it's probably not that easy to cope if you're in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
Yoko Ono
Women are put in a position of feeling embarrassed about their bodies. It's so ridiculous, but also astounding - we have to always be apologetic about having created the human race.
Yoko Ono
If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.
Yoko Ono
This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.
Yoko Ono
Luckily we never injected because both of us were totally scared about needles. So that probably saved us. And the other thing that saved us was our connection was not very good.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing.
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.
Yoko Ono
Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.
Yoko Ono
When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition.
Yoko Ono
One day, the dance charts will be the biggest chart in the music world. Because we all need to dance. This planet will be a fun planet when the judges in court will end the day with a dance!
Yoko Ono
I get very sad when I think about Vietnam where there seems to be no choice but violence. This violence goes on for centuries perpetuating itself.
