Sayings by Yoko Ono
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky, imagine all the people living for today...
Art is a way of survival.
War is over if you want it.
Smile in the summer, smile in the winter. Smile when you're happy, smile when you're sad. Smile when you're angry, smile when you're glad. Smile all the time.
My voice is an instrument. It's not a beautiful voice, but it has something to say.
Cut a hole in a bag. Put your hand in. Feel.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Imagine a world without countries. Imagine a world without religion. Imagine a world without possession. Imagine all the people living life in peace.
I'm not interested in being famous. I'm interested in making art that changes people's lives.
Don't ever give up on your dreams. They are what make you unique.
Fly. You can fly. You can fly. You can fly.
My art is about liberation. It's about freeing people from their preconceived notions.
Give peace a chance.
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
The future is now.
Listen to the sound of the earth turning.
I believe in the power of women. I believe in the power of love. I believe in the power of peace.
Cut a hole in the sky. Look through it.
You are a work of art. You are a masterpiece.
