IMAGINE PEACE: Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread # PEACE .
Yoko Ono
Image
Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we don't have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessity -- a function. We don't need history.
