I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.

More quotes by Yoko Ono
I'm not giving any guidance, OK. I mean, you know, mothers are not supposed to give guidance, right? Anyway, so he's [Sean] doing his own thing.
Yoko Ono
The people have got to trust in themselves.
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 don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
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
I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
Many incredible artists die before they were famous.
Yoko Ono
Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.
Yoko Ono
Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.
Yoko Ono
I don't really believe in going with somebody to have tea and chat. I don't do that. It's just a waste of time.
Yoko Ono
Being alone is very difficult.
Yoko Ono
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
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
Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you should always stay calm in a tense situation, because you might not ever confront the problem. Maybe it's better to actually let yourself be tense - and find a solution.
Yoko Ono
Life with another person is always difficult.
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
Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.
Yoko Ono
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.
Yoko Ono
