you don't need talent to be an artist. 'Artist' is just a frame of mind. Anybody can be an artist, anybody can communicate if they are desperate enough.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
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.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.

Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.
Yoko Ono
Image
We're all water from different rivers, That's why it's so easy to meet, We're all water in this vast, vast ocean, Someday we'll evaporate together.
Yoko Ono
Image
John wrote with a very deep love for the human race and a concern for its future.
Yoko Ono
Image
Faces can lie. Backsides can't.
Yoko Ono
Image
The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We're here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.
Yoko Ono
Image
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
Image
Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.
Yoko Ono
Image
We are very lucky really, because we can create our own reality, John [Lennon] and me, but we know the important thing is to communicate with other people.
Yoko Ono
Image
When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'
Yoko Ono
Image
It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.

Image
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Yoko Ono
Image
Give death announcements each time you move instead of giving announcements of the change of address. Send the same when you die.
Yoko Ono

The war industry people are very together they know exactly what they want they don't even have to talk to each other. The peace industry people are just intellectuals who are very critical of each other... Unless the peace industry is powerful, we're always going to have war. It is as simple as that.
