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
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
Yoko Ono
I feel sad that he's just a voice now.
Yoko Ono
I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.
Yoko Ono
You can't dance if you got too much muck in your head.
Yoko Ono
The boats outside the window were always still I wondered if one of them would take me to the ocean.
Yoko Ono
When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.
Yoko Ono
If I hear dance music, my body starts to move. Whatever the dance music is, I can't help it. With all that, I still felt, well, rock is a little higher art, but it wasn't. Right now, because I have so much experience with dance charts, I started to realize that it's incredible art. This is going to be known one day as high art.
Yoko Ono
Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.
Yoko Ono
The people have got to trust in themselves.
Yoko Ono
I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing, but I'm there trying to do it.
Yoko Ono
You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.
Yoko Ono
Power is not something we should be afraid of. Power is great, power is energy. And in terms of energy, the most important energy is human spiritual energy and when I say spiritual, I feel like have to be very careful, I don't mean religious, I mean the energy of the mind, the energy that exists within us.
Yoko Ono
Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono
When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.
Yoko Ono
People are still thinking of solving problems by violence and war, and that has to stop.
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
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
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
Yoko Ono
