Quote

I have to be pretty inclusive. I have to be pretty much inside of me rather than going out and finding out what people are doing. I don't have the time to. I just listen to my mind, in a way.

IMAGINE PEACE: Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread # PEACE .

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.

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.

I think something that's very important for us to communicate is usually very simple. Like breathing: Breathing is very simple. You don't do a dissonant 9th harmony or something in breathing. You just breathe, you know. I think that's how it is with very important messages.

If your judgement is clouded, you must be carrying too many things which are being a burden to you.

Dance in your dream. Go out into the street and hug everyone you meet. Tell them how beautiful they are. Dance together.

Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.
Yoko Ono

There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.

I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.
Yoko Ono
Image
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

I thank Pussy Riot for standing firmly in their belief for Freedom of Expression, and making all women of the world proud to be women.

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.
