Description: A powerful collection of quotations from iconic artist and activist Yoko Ono Ono - isms is a collection of provocative and powerful quotations from influential artist musician songwriter and peace activist Yoko Ono providing a richer understanding of this important cultural icon. Since emerging on the international art scene in the early 1960s Ono has made profound contributions to visual and performance art filmmaking and music in work that often radically questions the division between art and the everyday. In recent years she has embraced social media to communicate her artistic and activist messages to even broader audiences around the world. Gathered from interviews books song lyrics social media and other sources this nuanced book sheds new light on a complex and multifaceted artist who has shaped our culture in countless ways. The quotations close to 300 in all are arranged by subject: art life creativity nature and the environment love music women in society and peace and social justice. The book also features an introduction and a chronology of Ono's life and work. I ve never seen a line between music and art and performance. And that's a problem for some people. I think that all women are witches in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard which is a male version of a witch is kind of revered and people respect wizards. But a witch my god we have to burn them. I think if you have a persona you show the world that's separate from your true personality the strain becomes too much. What John Lennon and I decided was just to be ourselves. We didn t have a conference about it or anything. It's just the most relaxing way to be. I can take hatred because I don t believe that people are capable of real hate. We are too lonely for that. We vanish too quickly for that. Do you ever hate a cloud? Concentrate your mind on giving loving and thanking. Each time you give you are in less pain. Give as much as you can. Find something you can love. Love as much as you can. Thank as much as you can.
