Yoko Ono
We mustn't be traditional in the way we communicate with people - especially with the Establishment. We should surprise people by saying new things in an entirely new way. Communication of that sort can have a fantastic power so long as you don't do only what they expect you to do.
Yoko Ono
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
Yoko Ono
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
Dance in your dream. Go out into the street and hug everyone you meet. Tell them how beautiful they are. Dance together.
