We are very lucky really, because we can create our own reality, John [Lennon] and me, but we know the important thing is to communicate with other people.

More quotes by Yoko Ono
I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.
Yoko Ono
Dance in your dream. Go out into the street and hug everyone you meet. Tell them how beautiful they are. Dance together.
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
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.
Yoko Ono
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Yoko Ono
People say that this new generation is so used to the Internet that their heads are already different. They can't read a book from beginning to end. That is not a tragedy. The book changes form.
Yoko Ono
Look at a star in the sky not as something unreachable but as a planet you would visit one day.
Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Yoko Ono
Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are.
Yoko Ono
Is truth always positive? Of course. Once the truth comes out, you know, it's all right. We're scared that if the truth comes out that it's not all right. It's the other way around.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing. When I stop breathing, what happens?
Yoko Ono
My beauty secret is... nothing! I don't drink too much water. I don't eat very well. Sometimes I cheat and grab some chocolate. The best thing is to eat what you want, but not very much.
Yoko Ono
I'm kind of honored to be a dragon lady. The dragon is a very powerful, mythical animal.
Yoko Ono
Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
Keep going until your efforts start to make things better in your hometown.
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
When you go on a stage, before you go on a stage you're really scared and you're really frightened. You don't know what to do. Why did I say yes to this? But once you're on the stage you think, Okay.
Yoko Ono
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'
Yoko Ono
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!
Yoko Ono
