A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Yoko Ono

If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.
Yoko Ono

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
John would have been the first white rapper. And also he would have cherished the Internet.
Yoko Ono
Image
If your judgement is clouded, you must be carrying too many things which are being a burden to you.
Yoko Ono
Image
When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.

In your head, a sunset can go on for days

People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.

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.
