βDon't ever give up on life. Life can be so beautiful, especially after you've spent a lot of time with it.β
β 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.β
βIf Lennon were alive today, he probably would have reconciled with the man he accused of having "made a fool of everyone." John would have been the first one now, if he had been there, to recognise and acknowledge what Maharishi has done for the world and appreciate it.β

Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All I know is we're here today.
I've got nightmares I could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.
βIβm not that concerned about professional politicians. I always believe that we can change the world by grass-roots movements. It is a very important thing to do. It is the first time that I realized that I respect America so much because there are so many Americans trying to shift the axis of the world to peace.β
βRemember, each one of us has the power to change the world.
Power works in mysterious ways. You donβt have to do much. Visualise the domino effect And just start thinking PEACE.
The message will circulate faster than you think. Itβs Time For Action. The Action is PEACE. Spread the word. Spread PEACE. I love you!β

βThere is a saying that a glass is half empty or half full, depending on how you look at it. Well, we all know that one. But we cannot just say, okay so half full is how we should look at things. No. We have to go even further in our observation and realize that the glass is actually 100 percent full: 50 percent with water and 50 percent with air.β

I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day I saw a silver horse.
I thought he might take me to that somewhere high,
I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky.
I came to realize that the horse had no wings.
No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know.
I learnt to travel the world around
And run on the ground in the morning.
And that's the story of a wandering soul,
A story of a dreamer.
βIn 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 thatβs what happened to us gods and goddesses. Like the dinosaurs, we realized that itβs 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 knowβ¦. Well, even my best friend didnβt know until now that I was thinking of crazy things like this.β

Yoko Ono on Ballet
βSome people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.β
Yoko Ono on Starvation
βNobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.β

John Lennon on Yoko Ono 4 quotes
βThat's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously, because I think our opposition, whoever they may be, in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humor. You know, and we are humorous, we are, what are they, Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.β
Naomi Shihab Nye on Yoko Ono
βevery time Yoko Ono pays to have that full page in The New York Times β the βWar is Overβ page β Iβm fascinated by that. I think, well, Iβd love to hear her talk about why she continues to do this, because we so much wish it were true. Weβd like to be able to say, βYes, itβs true.β I actually kept that postcard that said βWar is Overβ in that same font on my wall for years, because I so much wanted to believe it. And yet, you look at the world, and itβs not true, and you think, is this just β is this manifest positive thinking?β
