More quotes by Yoko Ono

Image
If I hear dance music, my body starts to move. Whatever the dance music is, I can't help it. With all that, I still felt, well, rock is a little higher art, but it wasn't. Right now, because I have so much experience with dance charts, I started to realize that it's incredible art. This is going to be known one day as high art.
Yoko Ono
Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.

At least I had that, one guy understood me.

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.
Yoko Ono
Image
We mustn't be traditional in the way we communicate with people - especially with the Establishment. We should surprise people by saying new things in an entirely new way. Communication of that sort can have a fantastic power so long as you don't do only what they expect you to do.

John would have been the first white rapper. And also he would have cherished the Internet.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Stand in the evening light until you become transparent or until you fall asleep.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
Image
Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.
Yoko Ono
Image
I'm free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.
Yoko Ono
Image
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.
