I wonder why men get serious at all. They have this delicate, long thing hanging outside their bodies which goes up and down by its own will. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.
Yoko Ono

More quotes by Yoko Ono
The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.
Yoko Ono
I have to be pretty inclusive. I have to be pretty much inside of me rather than going out and finding out what people are doing. I don't have the time to. I just listen to my mind, in a way.
Yoko Ono
There's many women now who think, 'Surely we don't need feminism anymore, we're all liberated and society's accepting us as we are'. Which is just hogwash. It's not true at all.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
Transform jealousy to admiration, and what you admire will become part of your life.
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
Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it.
Yoko Ono
Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism they couldn't do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.
Yoko Ono
When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it.
Yoko Ono
All my life, I have been in love with the sky. Even when everything was falling apart around me, the sky was always there for me.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
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
After my husband John Lennon passed away, I tried to smile for my health.
Yoko Ono
I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.
Yoko Ono
Unclog your mind. Unclog your room. Arrange your room in a way you wish your mind would be.
Yoko Ono
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
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
A lot of things have been thrown at me in life, and I've got through it all without a rule book, taking it one day at a time.
Yoko Ono
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
Yoko Ono
Is truth always positive? Of course. Once the truth comes out, you know, it's all right. We're scared that if the truth comes out that it's not all right. It's the other way around.
Yoko Ono
