More quotes by Yoko Ono
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love, I'm shaking inside.
Yoko Ono
We created a thing called culture and civilization, and now we're about to lose it because we're trying to destroy everything. And I kind of miss it. I miss culture and civilization.
Yoko Ono
When Orientals are attacked, they don't hit back.
Yoko Ono
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you should always stay calm in a tense situation, because you might not ever confront the problem. Maybe it's better to actually let yourself be tense - and find a solution.
Yoko Ono
In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?
Yoko Ono
I think I'm an observer in a way. And my life was not so - well, my life was bad too - but it's just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it's probably not that easy to cope if you're in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
Yoko Ono
The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
Yoko Ono
I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.
Yoko Ono
When I turned 60, it didn't bother me at all.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing.
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
We don't live by just sleeping and eating. We need pride and dignity in our lives. Work gives you that.
Yoko Ono
All women are feminists. Being a feminist is allowing woman to be natural, for what she is, whatever it is. All of us can be natural and we're all feminists in that sense.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.
Yoko Ono
We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.
Yoko Ono
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
Yoko Ono
