If you're criticized then you can use it as an experience. Compliments, you can't use.
Yoko Ono

I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.

But only art and music have the power to bring peace.

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
Image
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.

I travel a lot, so when I arrive in a city, I like to go to good local bookshops and make a selection based on how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. The book I pick usually seems to have a definite karmic connection!
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price. I'm throwing the dice in the air. Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with your heart?

I respect Lady Gaga very much.

It is sad that the air is the only thing we share. No matter how close we get to each other, there is always air between us.

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.
