More quotes by 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.
Yoko Ono
Tape the sound of friends laughing together. Save it for a rainy day.
Yoko Ono
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
Yoko Ono
I never thought, I'm going to be an artist. When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist, which is true.
Yoko Ono
My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
Yoko Ono
Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.
Yoko Ono
When you say 'I love you', you are not just saying it to that person. You are saying 'I love you' to yourself, the planet & The Universe.
Yoko Ono
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
Yoko Ono
Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it's more casual but more interesting.
Yoko Ono
The war industry people are very together they know exactly what they want they don't even have to talk to each other. The peace industry people are just intellectuals who are very critical of each other... Unless the peace industry is powerful, we're always going to have war. It is as simple as that.
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
Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it into the sea with flowers.
Yoko Ono
My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music.
Yoko Ono
We mustn't be traditional in the way we communicate with people - especially with the Establishment. We should surprise people by saying new things in an entirely new way. Communication of that sort can have a fantastic power so long as you don't do only what they expect you to do.
Yoko Ono
Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
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
Most people think that I am too optimistic, but my optimism is based on the thought that negative thinking is a luxury that we can't afford.
Yoko Ono
Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.
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.
