In the Second World War, I was a little girl. I was evacuated in my country.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

Image
Every drop in the ocean counts.

Image
Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.
Yoko Ono
Image
Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.
Yoko Ono

I respect Lady Gaga very much.

Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited.
Yoko Ono
Image
One day, the dance charts will be the biggest chart in the music world. Because we all need to dance. This planet will be a fun planet when the judges in court will end the day with a dance!
Yoko Ono
Image
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'

Image
Our thoughts determine our age.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everyone is an artist and a genius, I think. If we don't choose to limit ourselves then we are totally accomplished.
Yoko Ono
Image
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
We don't have a particular organization, but we all want to make a world in which justice is given to each one of us.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
People say that this new generation is so used to the Internet that their heads are already different. They can't read a book from beginning to end. That is not a tragedy. The book changes form.
Yoko Ono
Image
I'm free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.
Yoko Ono
Image
I am the type of person who would do something thoroughly if someone said, I don't think you can do it. I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Yoko Ono
Image
It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
