Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
Yoko Ono
Image
I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.

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
If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.
Yoko Ono
Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
Image
What is beauty? It's what you love.
Yoko Ono
Image
Art is an effort to make you walk a half an inch above ground.
Yoko Ono
Image
Is truth always positive? Of course. Once the truth comes out, you know, it's all right. We're scared that if the truth comes out that it's not all right. It's the other way around.

Listen to the sound of the earth turning.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
Yoko Ono
Image
When people don't understand my work, I don't feel like explaining.
Yoko Ono
Image
If someone is unpleasant to you, draw a halo around his or her head in your mind. He/she is an angel who came to teach you something.
Yoko Ono
Image
Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.
Yoko Ono
Image
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.
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
I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.
Yoko Ono
Image
Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.

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.
