More quotes by Yoko Ono
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price. I'm throwing the dice in the air. Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with your heart?
Yoko Ono
I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.
Yoko Ono
I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.
Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
You know harmony only exists in music-isn't that amazing? I think that if you see earth from very far away, the color is blue. That is very interesting because blue is the color of communication.
Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono
Listen to the sound of the earth turning.
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
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
Getting into creating in a new genre is like arriving to a new country.
Yoko Ono
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
Yoko Ono
Loneliness is equal to the radius of one's awareness.
Yoko Ono
Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.
Yoko Ono
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
Yoko Ono
You can't always be in awe of someone's talent, living with them.
Yoko Ono
