Yoko Ono 346 quotes

I wonder why men get serious ...

I wonder why men get serious at all. They have this delicate, long thing hanging outside their bodies which goes up and down by its own will. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

I don't particularly consider...

I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

What surprises me is-even tho...

What surprises me is-even though discrimination against women and racial discrimination still exist, they have improved a lot, especially among artists. And just when I felt I could finally take a break, I encounter the age discrimination. I turned 72 and started noticing a drastic difference in people's attitudes. I started with racism and sexism in the beginning and fought them so hard and was finally ready to relax. Then, here comes ageism, and I feel like, "Give me a break!"

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

Confusion has become a state ...

Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less; we're trained to be confused. Quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. It's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

You should do something that ...

You should do something that will make your heart dance once a day. If you can't do that because you're too depressed, then do something that will make somebody else's heart dance.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

Every time I create something...

Every time I create something, just before that there's a kind of - you're feeling very low, you're feeling very down and insecure. Then you create and then it's fine. This is the way I observe me doing it.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

I should think that people wo...

I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.

you don't need talent to be an artist. 'Artist' is just a frame of mind. Anybody can be an artist, anybody can communicate if they are desperate enough.

My life has always been unplanned. So when something comes along, I feel like, Why not give it a try? It's fun to experiment like that.

Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it into the sea with flowers.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

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.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

Basically there are two types...

Basically there are two types of people in the world: people who are confident because they know they have the ability to create, and then people who have been demoralised, who have no confidence in themselves because they have been told they have no creative ability, but must just take orders. The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.

Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.

The opposite of love is fear, not hate.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.
