Quote

You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.

My life was pretty rough.
Yoko Ono
Image
Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.
Yoko Ono
Image
If people want to make war they should make a color war, and paint each others’ cities up in the night in pinks and greens.
Yoko Ono
Image
See what you can do. See what you want to do. See what you will do about it. Find your way out.
Yoko Ono
Image
Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.

To have world peace, we all have to have a healthy understanding of what is necessary to bring World Peace. It's not something that will be dropped on our laps. We have to work for it. Until we get World Peace, I think my strongest passion stays in the effort to get it.

You should do something that will make your heart dance once a day. If you can't do that because you're too depressed, then do something that will make somebody else's heart dance.
Yoko Ono

We don't live by just sleeping and eating. We need pride and dignity in our lives. Work gives you that.
Yoko Ono
Image
Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
Yoko Ono
Image
Not being appreciated for 40 years or something ... It feels like I was accused of something that I didn't do, which was breaking up the Beatles. That was like being somebody who is in prison without having done anything wrong.
Yoko Ono

The people have got to trust in themselves.

Dancing is a very healthy thing to do for our body.
Yoko Ono
Image
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.

When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.

My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music.
Yoko Ono
Image
A lot of things have been thrown at me in life, and I've got through it all without a rule book, taking it one day at a time.
Yoko Ono
Image
It is sad that the air is the only thing we share. No matter how close we get to each other, there is always air between us.
Yoko Ono
Image
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
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.

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.
