Love is an incredibly strong thing, it goes everywhere, it's like water, you can't stop it. Love, once you have it, once you create a kind of pathway for it to come out, it just keeps on coming out.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.

It's better to dance than to march through life.

Image
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.

Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.

I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.

I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.

People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
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
Image
Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
I always thought that I was an important musician. If you don't have that confidence, why would you go on and do it?
Yoko Ono
Image
I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.

Image
Be silent in a group of people See what they reveal to you.

Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.
Yoko Ono
Image
At least I had that, one guy understood me.
Yoko Ono

Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.

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.
