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.

More quotes by Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy.
Yoko Ono
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
I think that there is incredible prejudice about witches while there is no prejudice about wizards. Words are very important, and I'm really into destroying myths.
Yoko Ono
When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it.
Yoko Ono
The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.
Yoko Ono
No one person could have broken up a band, especially one the size of the Beatles.
Yoko Ono
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Yoko Ono
Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.
Yoko Ono
IMAGINE PEACE: Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread # PEACE .
Yoko Ono
But only art and music have the power to bring peace.
Yoko Ono
Be kind to yourself this evening. Buy something for yourself. Treat yourself to a meal. Look in the mirror and give yourself a smile
Yoko Ono
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
Watch the sun until it comes into your body and stays as a tiny sun. It will keep your face shining even in the coldest of winter.
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
Art is a way of survival.
Yoko Ono
You're filled with so much life. Is there any reason why all of us are not full of life?
Yoko Ono
This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.
Yoko Ono
If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.
Yoko Ono
I respect Lady Gaga very much.
