More quotes by Yoko Ono
I'm not giving any guidance, OK. I mean, you know, mothers are not supposed to give guidance, right? Anyway, so he's [Sean] doing his own thing.
Yoko Ono
Healing yourself is connected with healing others.
Yoko Ono
We are never alone. We are all aspects of one great being. No matter how far apart we are, the air links us.
Yoko Ono
You can be very wild and still be very wise
Yoko Ono
I saw sorrow turning into clarity.
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
Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.
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
I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.
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
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Yoko Ono
Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky
Yoko Ono
If I was a Jewish girl in Hitler's day, I would become his girlfriend. After ten days in bed, he would come to my way of thinking.
Yoko Ono
I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.
Yoko Ono
Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.
Yoko Ono
Some people don't listen to my music because they say that I am an artist. And some don't want to go to my gallery shows, because they say I am a musician.
Yoko Ono
Women artists are still treated differently from men.
Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Yoko Ono
I relate to happiness as an ecstatic moment - something you don't create, you encounter.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
