More quotes by Yoko Ono
When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.
Yoko Ono
I travel a lot, so when I arrive in a city, I like to go to good local bookshops and make a selection based on how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. The book I pick usually seems to have a definite karmic connection!
Yoko Ono
The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.
Yoko Ono
IMAGINE PEACE: Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread # PEACE .
Yoko Ono
I trust in my inspiration, really, and that's difficult because sometimes you would rather be technical. And once you empty your mind, empty your brain, it's really incredible. I'm very caring about things that dash into my brain, and I make sure I don't just clog it.
Yoko Ono
Most people think that I am too optimistic, but my optimism is based on the thought that negative thinking is a luxury that we can't afford.
Yoko Ono
You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.
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
Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
Yoko Ono
We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.
Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Yoko Ono
I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.
Yoko Ono
Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.
Yoko Ono
The only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano.
Yoko Ono
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Life with another person is always difficult.
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
Yoko Ono
