More quotes by Yoko Ono
Power is not something we should be afraid of. Power is great, power is energy. And in terms of energy, the most important energy is human spiritual energy and when I say spiritual, I feel like have to be very careful, I don't mean religious, I mean the energy of the mind, the energy that exists within us.
Yoko Ono
My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
Yoko Ono
It is sad that the air is the only thing we share. No matter how close we get to each other, there is always air between us.
Yoko Ono
There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.
Yoko Ono
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.

I'm into indie music. I think indie is going to bring back the spirit in music. There was a time when it was all about accommodating the music business, the music was getting tasteless, but the spirit is back.

Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.
Yoko Ono
The odds of not meeting in this life are so great that every meeting is like a miracle. It's a wonder that we don't make love to every single person we meet.
Yoko Ono
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
Yoko Ono
Think of the Earth as a turning point in eternity. Think of the Earth as a meeting point in infinity.

When I was 4 years old my mother put me into an early music education school. That's where they taught you perfect pitch and harmony and how to write music and all that. At that time, one of the homeworks was to listen to all the sounds and the noise of a day and transfer that into musical notes.
Yoko Ono
Watch the sun until it comes into your body and stays as a tiny sun. It will keep your face shining even in the coldest of winter.
Yoko Ono
I'm just trying to do my best every day, hoping that I have done my best every day, and its very easy in a way, but also it's not that easy. Every day counts.

I'm kind of honored to be a dragon lady. The dragon is a very powerful, mythical animal.

I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
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.

People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.
Yoko Ono
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
Yoko Ono
This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.
Yoko Ono
Your thoughts create reality. The most pragmatic way to create world peace is to use your power of visualization. Think Peace, Act Peace, Spread Peace, Imagine Peace. Your thoughts will soon cover the planet. The most important thing is to believe in your power. It works.
