Yoko Ono
Don't ever give up on life. Life can be so beautiful, especially after you've spent a lot of time with it.
Yoko Ono
Every time I create something, just before that there's a kind of - you're feeling very low, you're feeling very down and insecure. Then you create and then it's fine. This is the way I observe me doing it.
Yoko Ono
If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.
Yoko Ono
Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.
Yoko Ono
Loneliness is equal to the radius of one's awareness.
Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
