Quote

I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.

I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
Yoko Ono
Image
We get shy about saying things like I love you. Life is so short. It's crazy, that we hesitate to express our true thoughts to each other.
Yoko Ono
Image
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
Yoko Ono
Image
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
Yoko Ono
Image
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we don't have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessity -- a function. We don't need history.

You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.

Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono

I'm just trying to do my best every day, hoping that I have done my best every day, and its very easy in a way, but also it's not that easy. Every day counts.
Yoko Ono
Image
Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.
Yoko Ono
Image
The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.

Image
My father was a banker, but he was an independent spirit. He was a very good pianist and very much into music.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
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
The cynicism that you have is not your real soul.
Yoko Ono
Image
The odds of not meeting in this life are so great that every meeting is like a miracle. It's a wonder that we don't make love to every single person we meet.
Yoko Ono
Image
Think of the Earth as a turning point in eternity. Think of the Earth as a meeting point in infinity.

In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?
