When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.

More quotes by Yoko Ono
People just love to be entertained, and in order to entertain them, you have to do things in a way that they understand.
Yoko Ono
Give death announcements each time you move instead of giving announcements of the change of address. Send the same when you die.
Yoko Ono
I get very sad when I think about Vietnam where there seems to be no choice but violence. This violence goes on for centuries perpetuating itself.
Yoko Ono
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.
Yoko Ono
Watch the sun until it comes into your body and stays as a tiny sun. It will keep your face shining even in the coldest of winter.
Yoko Ono
Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
Yoko Ono
Marriage is a difficult project. When seven years have passed and all your body's cells have been replaced, you're meant to experience that seven-year itch.
Yoko Ono
My father was a banker, but he was an independent spirit. He was a very good pianist and very much into music.
Yoko Ono
The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.
Yoko Ono
Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.
Yoko Ono
I thank Pussy Riot for standing firmly in their belief for Freedom of Expression, and making all women of the world proud to be women.
Yoko Ono
Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.
Yoko Ono
Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.
Yoko Ono
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
You may think I’m small, but I have a universe inside my mind.
Yoko Ono
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
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.
Yoko Ono
