Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.

When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.
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.

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.

I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.

Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.

Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.

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.

World peace is one project that we have to do together.

When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.

I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
Yoko Ono
Image
Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we don't have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessity -- a function. We don't need history.

The only way you can better John is by copying him exactly.
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
Image
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
Image
You should do something that will make your heart dance once a day. If you can't do that because you're too depressed, then do something that will make somebody else's heart dance.
Yoko Ono

There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.

Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.

Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
