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
It's better to dance than to march through life.
Yoko Ono
You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.
Yoko Ono
I never want projects to be finished I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'
Yoko Ono
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
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.
Yoko Ono
Anger is an emotion that is very energetic. It is an ideal emotion to turn it around to make it work as a positive force.
Yoko Ono
I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
Yoko Ono
Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are.
Yoko Ono
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Yoko Ono
Power is not something we should be afraid of. Power is great, power is energy. And in terms of energy, the most important energy is human spiritual energy and when I say spiritual, I feel like have to be very careful, I don't mean religious, I mean the energy of the mind, the energy that exists within us.
Yoko Ono
You can't dance if you got too much muck in your head.
Yoko Ono
The only way you can better John is by copying him exactly.
Yoko Ono
Not being appreciated for 40 years or something ... It feels like I was accused of something that I didn't do, which was breaking up the Beatles. That was like being somebody who is in prison without having done anything wrong.
Yoko Ono
Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.
Yoko Ono
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
All wishes create an upswing line when it is manifested. Therefore, together, it becomes an incredible upswing of power, whatever you wished. Of course, the more high level wishes, which covers the whole human race is stronger than wishing for getting ice cream for your dessert!
Yoko Ono
My life was pretty rough.
Yoko Ono
Smile to the future and it will smile back to you
Yoko Ono
I have a woman inside my soul.
