My heart is mysteriously alive in the world of sounds - a totally different dimension from the daily life.
Yoko Ono
Image
Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.

Watch the sun until it comes into your body and stays as a tiny sun. It will keep your face shining even in the coldest of winter.
Yoko Ono

If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
Yoko Ono

Music is like my security blanket.
Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono
Image
I think I'm an observer in a way. And my life was not so - well, my life was bad too - but it's just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it's probably not that easy to cope if you're in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
Yoko Ono
Image
Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.
Yoko Ono
Image
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Yoko Ono
Image
Think of the Earth as a turning point in eternity. Think of the Earth as a meeting point in infinity.
Yoko Ono
Image
It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
Yoko Ono
Image
When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'

There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.
