More quotes by Yoko Ono
When I was 4 years old my mother put me into an early music education school. That's where they taught you perfect pitch and harmony and how to write music and all that. At that time, one of the homeworks was to listen to all the sounds and the noise of a day and transfer that into musical notes.
Yoko Ono
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
I saw sorrow turning into clarity.
Yoko Ono
I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.
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
Every time I create something, just before that there's a kind of - you're feeling very low, you're feeling very down and insecure. Then you create and then it's fine. This is the way I observe me doing it.
Yoko Ono
If you're criticized then you can use it as an experience. Compliments, you can't use.
Yoko Ono
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
Yoko Ono
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
Yoko Ono
Marriage is a difficult project. When seven years have passed and all your body's cells have been replaced, you're meant to experience that seven-year itch.
Yoko Ono
One day, the dance charts will be the biggest chart in the music world. Because we all need to dance. This planet will be a fun planet when the judges in court will end the day with a dance!
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
Smile to the future and it will smile back to you
Yoko Ono
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
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
People just love to be entertained, and in order to entertain them, you have to do things in a way that they understand.
Yoko Ono
I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.
Yoko Ono
In the present age when communication is so rapid, we should create a different tradition, traditions are created everyday. Five years now is like 100 years before. We are living in a society that has no history. There’s no precedent for this kind of society so we can break the old patterns.
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.
