More quotes by 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
Love is an incredibly strong thing, it goes everywhere, it's like water, you can't stop it. Love, once you have it, once you create a kind of pathway for it to come out, it just keeps on coming out.
Yoko Ono
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
When you go to war, both sides lose totally.
Yoko Ono
The boats outside the window were always still I wondered if one of them would take me to the ocean.
Yoko Ono
The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.
Yoko Ono
Words are power. And a book is full of words. Be careful what power you get from it. But know that you do.
Yoko Ono
Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.
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
The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.
Yoko Ono
We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children.
Yoko Ono
My heart is mysteriously alive in the world of sounds - a totally different dimension from the daily life.
Yoko Ono
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?
Yoko Ono
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
Remember love. Remember our hearts are one. Even when we are fighting with each other, our hearts are beating in unison. I love you.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
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
Many incredible artists die before they were famous.
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
