Great Art is Great because it inspired you greatly. If it didn't, no matter what the critics, the museums and the galleries say, it's not great art for you.

More quotes by Yoko Ono

I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.
Yoko Ono
Image
Look at a star in the sky not as something unreachable but as a planet you would visit one day.
Yoko Ono
Image
When you are totally depressed, you should try giggling. Just make yourself laugh. Force yourself to laugh.
Yoko Ono
Image
When you say 'I love you', you are not just saying it to that person. You are saying 'I love you' to yourself, the planet & The Universe.
Yoko Ono
Image
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
Image
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Yoko Ono
Image
My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
Yoko Ono
Image
I never wanted to be a professional artist I think that's limiting.
Yoko Ono
Image
You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.
Yoko Ono
Image
My life has always been unplanned. So when something comes along, I feel like, Why not give it a try? It's fun to experiment like that.
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

Art for me is like breathing.
Yoko Ono
Image
You can't always be in awe of someone's talent, living with them.
Yoko Ono
Image
I have a woman inside my soul.
Yoko Ono
Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
Image
Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
Yoko Ono
Image
My beauty secret is... nothing! I don't drink too much water. I don't eat very well. Sometimes I cheat and grab some chocolate. The best thing is to eat what you want, but not very much.
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.
