More quotes by Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Yoko Ono
Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.
Yoko Ono
These days, DJ's are the ones who are bringing fresh sounds to the music world. In fact, they are creating a new spatial music. They are the space transformers of the universe.
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
Our thoughts determine our age.
Yoko Ono
There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing. When I stop breathing, what happens?
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
Art is my life and my life is art.
Yoko Ono
I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.
Yoko Ono
We created a thing called culture and civilization, and now we're about to lose it because we're trying to destroy everything. And I kind of miss it. I miss culture and civilization.
Yoko Ono
We get shy about saying things like I love you. Life is so short. It's crazy, that we hesitate to express our true thoughts to each other.
Yoko Ono
If someone is unpleasant to you, draw a halo around his or her head in your mind. He/she is an angel who came to teach you something.
Yoko Ono
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
I trust in my inspiration, really, and that's difficult because sometimes you would rather be technical. And once you empty your mind, empty your brain, it's really incredible. I'm very caring about things that dash into my brain, and I make sure I don't just clog it.
Yoko Ono
Don't ever give up on life. Life can be so beautiful, especially after you've spent a lot of time with it.
Yoko Ono
Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.
Yoko Ono
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
