More quotes by Yoko Ono
When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.
Yoko Ono
In the Second World War, I was a little girl. I was evacuated in my country.
Yoko Ono
Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.
Yoko Ono
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
Yoko Ono
Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
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
People say that this new generation is so used to the Internet that their heads are already different. They can't read a book from beginning to end. That is not a tragedy. The book changes form.
Yoko Ono
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.
Yoko Ono
When you go on a stage, before you go on a stage you're really scared and you're really frightened. You don't know what to do. Why did I say yes to this? But once you're on the stage you think, Okay.
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
People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.
Yoko Ono
Some people don't listen to my music because they say that I am an artist. And some don't want to go to my gallery shows, because they say I am a musician.
Yoko Ono
We don't read people's wishes. The wishes are suppose to be direct communication to the Universe. Your interception will weaken the power of the wish.
Yoko Ono
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'
Yoko Ono
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
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 never want projects to be finished I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'
Yoko Ono
