More quotes by Yoko Ono
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
Yoko Ono
If people want to make war they should make a color war, and paint each others’ cities up in the night in pinks and greens.
Yoko Ono
When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
People just love to be entertained, and in order to entertain them, you have to do things in a way that they understand.
Yoko Ono
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
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 thank Pussy Riot for standing firmly in their belief for Freedom of Expression, and making all women of the world proud to be women.
Yoko Ono
Listen to the sound of the earth turning.
Yoko Ono
I travel a lot, so when I arrive in a city, I like to go to good local bookshops and make a selection based on how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. The book I pick usually seems to have a definite karmic connection!
Yoko Ono
All wishes create an upswing line when it is manifested. Therefore, together, it becomes an incredible upswing of power, whatever you wished. Of course, the more high level wishes, which covers the whole human race is stronger than wishing for getting ice cream for your dessert!
Yoko Ono
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
Yoko Ono
Art is a way of survival.
Yoko Ono
Life with another person is always difficult.
Yoko Ono
You know, something happened to me when I became 70. I started to feel a tremendous love for the human race, and life and this planet, the universe, the whole shebang.
Yoko Ono
Imagine the clouds dripping Dig a hole in your garden to put them in
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
Yoko Ono
I don't really believe in going with somebody to have tea and chat. I don't do that. It's just a waste of time.
Yoko Ono
Smile to the future and it will smile back to you
Yoko Ono
