The opposite of love is fear, not hate.
Yoko Ono
Image
You are beautiful. Don't ever think you are not. It may be such a compliment that does not come from a man too often. They are shy, proud, and rude. Give yourself some love. And walk as what you are - a beautiful woman. All your life.
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.
Yoko Ono
Image
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Image
Be kind once a day - even if it's just in your mind.
Yoko Ono
Image
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price. I'm throwing the dice in the air. Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with your heart?
Yoko Ono
Image
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Yoko Ono
Image
I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.

Keep going until your efforts start to make things better in your hometown.

You may think I’m small, but I have a universe inside my mind.
Yoko Ono
Image
When people don't understand my work, I don't feel like explaining.
Yoko Ono
Image
you don't need talent to be an artist. 'Artist' is just a frame of mind. Anybody can be an artist, anybody can communicate if they are desperate enough.
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
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
Yoko Ono
Image
To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful - I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.
Yoko Ono
Image
Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.

Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.

John would have been the first white rapper. And also he would have cherished the Internet.

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

The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.
