Quote

I am the type of person who would do something thoroughly if someone said, I don't think you can do it. I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.

All women are feminists. Being a feminist is allowing woman to be natural, for what she is, whatever it is. All of us can be natural and we're all feminists in that sense.
Yoko Ono
Image
When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.
Yoko Ono
Image
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
Image
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.
Yoko Ono
Image
There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.

Great Art is Great because it inspired you greatly. If it didn't, no matter what the critics, the museums and the galleries say, it's not great art for you.

When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.

Image
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
Image
I never wanted to be a professional artist I think that's limiting.
Yoko Ono
Image
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love, I'm shaking inside.

One day, the dance charts will be the biggest chart in the music world. Because we all need to dance. This planet will be a fun planet when the judges in court will end the day with a dance!

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.

Image
I just like to explore all sorts of different forms - no, 'explore' is not even the word - enjoy. You don't want to limit yourself to a particular form.
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.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.

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
Image
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
Yoko Ono
Image
Stand in the evening light until you become transparent or until you fall asleep.
Yoko Ono
Image
I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

My life was pretty rough.
