Happy Birthday Yoko Ono!

There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.

Kunst ist mein Leben und mein Leben ist Kunst.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

Gesichter können lügen, Hintern nicht.

The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.

Ich dachte Kunst sei vielmehr ein Verb als ein Substantiv.

Nobody'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.

Man möchte denken, ich sei klein, aber ich habe ein Universum in meinem Geiste.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Es ist besser, durchs Leben zu tanzen, als durch zu marschieren.

Being alone is very difficult.

Ich frage mich, wie Männer überhaupt ernst bleiben können. Sie haben dieses empfindliche Ding an ihrem Körper hängen, das rauf- und runtergeht, wie es will. Wenn ich ein Mann wäre, würde ich ständig über mich selbst lachen.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Männer sind immer auf der Suche nach der idealen Frau - vor allem nach der Hochzeit.

Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

Ein Traum, den man alleine träumt, ist nur ein Traum. Ein Traum, den man zusammen träumt, ist Wirklichkeit.

Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.

Ich habe bemerkt, dass nichts endgültig ist. Du willst nichts besitzen, das dir lieb ist, weil du es verlieren könntest.

Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.

Niemand könnte eine Band zerstören, vor allem nicht eine von der Grösse der Beatles.

You change the world by being yourself.

Seien wir ehrlich, die Ehe ist ein Glücksspiel.

I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.

Kosmetik ist ein Segen für jede Frau, aber das beste Beauty-Helferchen eines Mädchens ist und bleibt ein kurzsichtiger Mann.

Every drop in the ocean counts.

Manche Menschen sind mit 18 alt, andere sind mit 90 jung. Zeit ist ein von Menschen erschaffenes Konzept.

The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.

Die 60er-Jahre waren alles andere als legendär: zu viel Drogen und Machismus.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

Illusionen platzen immer, Träume werden immer wahr.

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.

Some 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.

Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.

In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?

If your life changes, we can change the world, too.

Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are.

My heart is mysteriously alive in the world of sounds - a totally different dimension from the daily life.

The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.

People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.

You can be very wild and still be very wise.
