People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.
Yoko Ono -
There's many women now who think, 'Surely we don't need feminism anymore, we're all liberated and society's accepting us as we are'. Which is just hogwash. It's not true at all.
Yoko Ono -
Women are put in a position of feeling embarrassed about their bodies. It's so ridiculous, but also astounding - we have to always be apologetic about having created the human race.
Yoko Ono -
John wrote with a very deep love for the human race and a concern for its future.
Yoko Ono -
I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.
Yoko Ono -
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.

The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.

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.
Yoko Ono -
I like artists who have something to say, not wallpaper.
Yoko Ono -
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.
Yoko Ono -
People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
Yoko Ono
-
Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.

Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.
Yoko Ono -
Most people like to hear sounds they are used to.
Yoko Ono -
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
