More quotes by Yoko Ono
The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.
Yoko Ono
We need to really do something about the world. Otherwise, we're all going to blow up together.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.
Yoko Ono
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
Yoko Ono
Remember love. Remember our hearts are one. Even when we are fighting with each other, our hearts are beating in unison. I love you.
Yoko Ono
The boats outside the window were always still I wondered if one of them would take me to the ocean.
Yoko Ono
We are very lucky really, because we can create our own reality, John [Lennon] and me, but we know the important thing is to communicate with other people.
Yoko Ono
All my concerts had no sounds in them they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
Yoko Ono
We’ve been filled with great treasure for one purpose: to be spilled.
Yoko Ono
You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.
Yoko Ono
Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.
Yoko Ono
It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
Yoko Ono
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
Yoko Ono
When you are feeling bad, do one thing a day to make your heart dance. It could be a simple thing like looking up at the sky.
Yoko Ono
Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
Yoko Ono
You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.
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
I trust in my inspiration, really, and that's difficult because sometimes you would rather be technical. And once you empty your mind, empty your brain, it's really incredible. I'm very caring about things that dash into my brain, and I make sure I don't just clog it.
Yoko Ono
When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible
Yoko Ono
Be silent in a group of people See what they reveal to you.
Yoko Ono
