More quotes by Yoko Ono
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
Yoko Ono
To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful - I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.
Yoko Ono
I'm not the kind of woman who would love to make soup or knit sweaters. I never cherished that so much.
Yoko Ono
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
Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are.
Yoko Ono
Most people think that I am too optimistic, but my optimism is based on the thought that negative thinking is a luxury that we can't afford.
Yoko Ono
Women artists are still treated differently from men.
Yoko Ono
Every time I create something, just before that there's a kind of - you're feeling very low, you're feeling very down and insecure. Then you create and then it's fine. This is the way I observe me doing it.
Yoko Ono
Anger is an emotion that is very energetic. It is an ideal emotion to turn it around to make it work as a positive force.
Yoko Ono
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
Yoko Ono
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
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Yoko Ono
Japanese are very proud and workaholics. Proud workaholics.
Yoko Ono
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
I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.
Yoko Ono
When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.
Yoko Ono
We are never alone. We are all aspects of one great being. No matter how far apart we are, the air links us.
Yoko Ono
Sometimes I have compared myself with a scientist or something: when you discover something and you don't expect the whole world to understand it. I always thought I was doing that kind of activity, in art and in music too.
Yoko Ono
The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.
Yoko Ono
