The odds of not meeting in this life are so great that every meeting is like a miracle. It's a wonder that we don't make love to every single person we meet.

In the present age when communication is so rapid, we should create a different tradition, traditions are created everyday. Five years now is like 100 years before. We are living in a society that has no history. There’s no precedent for this kind of society so we can break the old patterns.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

My work was not embraced for ...

My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

I think I'm an observer in a ...

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 346 quotes

We mustn't be traditional in ...

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.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

You can't love someone unless...

You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.

Some people don't listen to my music because they say that I am an artist. And some don't want to go to my gallery shows, because they say I am a musician.

The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

We created a thing called culture and civilization, and now we're about to lose it because we're trying to destroy everything. And I kind of miss it. I miss culture and civilization.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

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.

There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

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.

When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.

In a way the new music showed things could be transformed by new channels of communication.

I never wanted to be a professional artist; I think that's limiting.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

Not being appreciated for 40 years or something ... It feels like I was accused of something that I didn't do, which was breaking up the Beatles. That was like being somebody who is in prison without having done anything wrong.

There's a big difference between sending your art in a statement or something like that, and sending yourself there. When you send yourself somewhere, then you are sharing your information uncontrollably - like all yourself.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

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 346 quotes

When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.

Yoko Ono 346 quotes

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?
