More quotes by Yoko Ono
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
Yoko Ono
Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity.
Yoko Ono
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?
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
To have world peace, we all have to have a healthy understanding of what is necessary to bring World Peace. It's not something that will be dropped on our laps. We have to work for it. Until we get World Peace, I think my strongest passion stays in the effort to get it.
Yoko Ono
When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition.
Yoko Ono
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
Yoko Ono
All women are feminists. Being a feminist is allowing woman to be natural, for what she is, whatever it is. All of us can be natural and we're all feminists in that sense.
Yoko Ono
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
Yoko Ono
Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.
Yoko Ono
It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing. When I stop breathing, what happens?
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it's more casual but more interesting.
Yoko Ono
I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
Yoko Ono
Healing yourself is connected with healing others.
Yoko Ono
When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible
Yoko Ono
If you have a slave around the house how can you expect to make a revolution outside it? The problem for women is that if we try to be free, then we naturally become lonely, because so many women are willing to become slaves, and men usually prefer that.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
When you are totally depressed, you should try giggling. Just make yourself laugh. Force yourself to laugh.
Yoko Ono
