When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.

I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'

You can't always measure the effects of activist work; you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.

The Establishment likes people who take no responsibility and cannot respect themselves.

Touch, touch, touch, touch me love, I'm shaking inside.

I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.

Keep going until your efforts start to make things better in your hometown.
