In the present age when communication is so rapid, we should create a different tradition, traditions are created everyday. Five years now is like 100 years before. We are living in a society that has no history. There’s no precedent for this kind of society so we can break the old patterns.

Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear and we all just do our best.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
We don't live by just sleeping and eating. We need pride and dignity in our lives. Work gives you that.
Yoko Ono

It's better to dance than to march through life.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited.
Yoko Ono
Image
The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.
Yoko Ono
Image
The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.
Yoko Ono
Image
I never thought I would go into the dance charts.
Yoko Ono
Image
The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We're here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.

Unclog your mind. Unclog your room. Arrange your room in a way you wish your mind would be.

I'm not giving any guidance, OK. I mean, you know, mothers are not supposed to give guidance, right? Anyway, so he's [Sean] doing his own thing.

Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.
