Yoko Ono Quotes

It's better to dance than to march through life.

We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children

Œuvre Neige

Pensez que la neige tombe. Pensez que la neige tombe partout tout le temps. Lorsque vous parlez avec quelqu'un, pensez que la neige tombe entre vous et cette personne. Cessez de converser lorsque vous pensez que la personne est recouverte de neige.

CLOSET PIECE II

Put one memory into one half of your head.
Shut it off and forget it.
Let the other half of the brain long for it.

1964 spring

Listen to the sound of the earth turning.

John's was not a glum, negative, insulting attack on society but a sharp-witted, entertaining, cock-a-snook approach that encouraged young people to express themselves as individuals and to reject the stifling rigidity of a lot of the older social traditions. Thanks to John, to give one example, regional dialects were no longer looked upon as a hindrance. He made no attempt to tone down his Liverpool accent (indeed, he exaggerated it) and this encouraged others to follow suit. Previously, without cut-glass Oxford English, it was impossible for anyone to make progress in the media. John changed all that, and a great deal more as well. (Desmond Morris)

We're all water from different rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet,
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Someday we'll evaporate together.

You change the world by being yourself

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it

In a day, sometimes I feel so much love for the world, I think my heart is bursting. Sometimes, I feel so scared, I want to shrink myself even further. I think that’s what happened to us gods and goddesses. Like the dinosaurs, we realized that it’s too dangerous to be so large. So we kept shrinking ourselves to what we are now. We might get even smaller. I see the sign in the engineers making smaller gadgets, smaller and smaller. Pretty soon, our fingers will be too large to operate them. So what are we doing? I trust in the human wisdom. We are incredibly intelligent beings. So we might know something without thinking that we know…. Well, even my best friend didn’t know until now that I was thinking of crazy things like this.

You change the world by changing yourself.

John and I felt that we were like people in an H. G. Wells story. Two people who are walking so fast that nobody else can see them.

Jimmy Carter is the embodiment of dignity, grace, and the hope for a better world - Carlos Santana

Get a telephone that only echoes back your voice.
