We don't have a particular organization, but we all want to make a world in which justice is given to each one of us.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
The amazing thing is that we could live in the world together peacefully, feed the world, shelter the world. We have that capability both spiritually and technologically.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
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.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I never thought, "I'm going to be an artist". When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist", which is true.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
These days, DJ's are the ones who are bringing fresh sounds to the music world. In fact, they are creating a new spatial music. They are the space transformers of the universe.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I thank Pussy Riot for standing firmly in their belief for Freedom of Expression, and making all women of the world proud to be women.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
We need to really do something about the world. Otherwise, we're all going to blow up together.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
No one person could have broken up a band, especially one the size of the Beatles.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Everyone is an artist and a genius, I think. If we don't choose to limit ourselves then we are totally accomplished.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
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!"
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
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.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
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.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
What all of us artists are doing is using our pain as material to create our work.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
