Art is an effort to make you walk a half an inch above ground.
Yoko Ono
Image
Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

Art for me is like breathing. When I stop breathing, what happens?

Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.

Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.
Yoko Ono
Image
I trust in my inspiration, really, and that's difficult because sometimes you would rather be technical. And once you empty your mind, empty your brain, it's really incredible. I'm very caring about things that dash into my brain, and I make sure I don't just clog it.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono

Sometimes the father feels pushed out because of the connection between the mother and the child.
Yoko Ono
Image
I have a woman inside my soul.
Yoko Ono
Image
Look at yourself in the mirror and don't be afraid to notice how beautiful you are.
Yoko Ono
Image
Not being appreciated for 40 years or something ... It feels like I was accused of something that I didn't do, which was breaking up the Beatles. That was like being somebody who is in prison without having done anything wrong.
Yoko Ono
Image
The people have got to trust in themselves.
Yoko Ono
Image
Some people are saying there's going to be a third World War. I hope not. I really think this is a time that people can start to mend things by negotiations, dealings. We know about dealings, don't we? We have brilliant lawyers. Why don't we have brilliant lawyers standing up and working for peace?
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.

Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism they couldn't do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.
