Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
Yoko Ono
Image
I just like to explore all sorts of different forms - no, 'explore' is not even the word - enjoy. You don't want to limit yourself to a particular form.
Yoko Ono
Image
Life with another person is always difficult.
Yoko Ono
Image
We mustn't be traditional in the way we communicate with people - especially with the Establishment. We should surprise people by saying new things in an entirely new way. Communication of that sort can have a fantastic power so long as you don't do only what they expect you to do.

Be kind once a day - even if it's just in your mind.
Yoko Ono

I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Yoko Ono

I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.

Some people are saying there's going to be a third World War. I hope not. I really think this is a time that people can start to mend things by negotiations, dealings. We know about dealings, don't we? We have brilliant lawyers. Why don't we have brilliant lawyers standing up and working for peace?

You can be very wild and still be very wise

Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.

Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.
Yoko Ono
Image
The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.
Yoko Ono
Image
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
Yoko Ono
Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Image
I'm free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.
Yoko Ono
Image
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
Yoko Ono
Image
Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.
Yoko Ono
Image
If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy.
Yoko Ono

Sometimes I have compared myself with a scientist or something: when you discover something and you don't expect the whole world to understand it. I always thought I was doing that kind of activity, in art and in music too.
