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.

Image
I am the type of person who would do something thoroughly if someone said, I don't think you can do it. I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Yoko Ono
Image
Being alone is very difficult.
Yoko Ono
Image
Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.
Yoko Ono
Image
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
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
Image
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
Image
If you have a slave around the house how can you expect to make a revolution outside it? The problem for women is that if we try to be free, then we naturally become lonely, because so many women are willing to become slaves, and men usually prefer that.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.
Yoko Ono
Image
I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
Yoko Ono
Image
Every drop in the ocean counts.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
I don't work for a long time on anything. I don't have too much time in life.
Yoko Ono
Image
Our thoughts determine our age.
Yoko Ono
Image
Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.
Yoko Ono
Image
Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.
Yoko Ono
Image
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
