Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them.
Yoko Ono
Image
People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
Yoko Ono
Image
My life has always been unplanned. So when something comes along, I feel like, Why not give it a try? It's fun to experiment like that.
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.

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.

My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
Yoko Ono

Unclog your mind. Unclog your room. Arrange your room in a way you wish your mind would be.
Yoko Ono
Image
Look at a star in the sky not as something unreachable but as a planet you would visit one day.
Yoko Ono
Image
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
Yoko Ono

Marriage is a gamble, let's be honest.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

Society tells you that when you're old you have to retire. You have to defy that.
Yoko Ono
Image
Words are power. And a book is full of words. Be careful what power you get from it. But know that you do.
Yoko Ono
Image
Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less we're trained to be confused. Quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. It's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.
Yoko Ono
Image
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
Image
I have to be pretty inclusive. I have to be pretty much inside of me rather than going out and finding out what people are doing. I don't have the time to. I just listen to my mind, in a way.

In a way the new music showed things could be transformed by new channels of communication.
