Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it into the sea with flowers.
Yoko Ono

No one person could have broken up a band, especially one the size of the Beatles.
Yoko Ono
Image
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

I'm kind of honored to be a dragon lady. The dragon is a very powerful, mythical animal.

Be silent in a group of people See what they reveal to you.

When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it.

I get very nervous before I get on the stage, but once I'm on the stage, I'm just, you know, me. Nothing hurts me.

Love is what I give to the one I love.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition.

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
Image
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
Image
The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.
Yoko Ono
Image
Women are put in a position of feeling embarrassed about their bodies. It's so ridiculous, but also astounding - we have to always be apologetic about having created the human race.
Yoko Ono
Image
Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.
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
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.

Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.

It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
