Through marriages, childbirth, divorces or by getting through the separation after the death of John Lennon and racial discrimination, Yoko Ono has always been persistent by "being who she is and living the way she wants".

The standpoint of the weak
The relationship of Yin and Yan
Bless you
Use energy positively
Do not fear change
Have pride, not a superiority complex
To see in the first place
To forgive leads to love
Do one thing everyday to make your heart dance
The joy of growing old
To have a dream
The wall is the chance to discipline yourself
To vacillate is luxurious
Only one wish
The memory of having created the Universe
The world is connected
Connection
Art is to give energy
Without getting indulged in sadness...
Fight against discrimination
If you earned something, it is for real
To accept yourself and others
See through the truth
Man and woman
Keep living

German print of this publication in 2008:
Schwarzkopf
& Schwarzkopf "A collection of quotes from
Yoko Ono about her extraordinary life." Publisher:
"She is the world's most famous widow, the often maligned, largely mysterious
Japanese avant-garde artist whose relationship with John Lennon turned them into
a single entity: JohnandYoko. It took the death of John for the world to finally
warm to her, yet she remains controversial and confrontational, an icon of unpredictability,
and the most misunderstood figure in the ongoing saga of the greatest pop group
the world has ever known."

Paperback, 320 pages.
Black&white photographs of Yoko Ono, some of them quite rare. From the book
description: "This riveting exposé of Yoko Ono covers her early life
growing up as the eldest daughter of a wealthy Japanese family and her personal
experience as a result of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of the
World War II. Detailed are her move to New York for schooling during the 1950s,
her first marriage to a composer, and her early days as an experimental artist
in London during the early 1960s. New light is shed on her initial meeting with
John Lennon and their 13-year relationship, and the rebuilding of her life after
his tragic murder. Her life as artist, musician, businesswoman, and mother are
explored from her youth to the present."
