I was born February 18th, 1933 during a heavy snow in Tokyo. In the morning the nurse opened the curtains to the window to show my mother what happened to the city over the night. The whole city was blanketed with snow, which was shining under the blue sky.
Some mean people taunt me for still making songs and albums. Well, I wish them luck. Because one day they may suddenly be in my position where people are saying “Hey, Crawl in a hole and shut up”. I don’t think I will. And I hope you won’t either.

Do what you can. Don't be too harsh on yourself. Being upset with yourself will not be good for your health. Try to keep your health as the most important thing. Nothing else counts in the end.
In some ways John was a highly complex person, but, in others, he was a person who retained his innocence. On one level he remained the kid he’d been in his home town. 🧵 1/10
You should know that life is lonely. You come out alone and you go out alone. If you know that, it will get better. Some people will love you and some won't. That's life. If you know that, it's a pretty good life.
I love all trees, especially when I see one that is very, very old. I always wonder how it survived, and what it has seen in its life. I wish the tree could whisper to me all it knows!
Follow your instinct. Be an artist only if you have love for it. Then your work will spread your love to the world and make you happy as well. Listen to your instincts and not critics.

I was a very lonely person before I met him. When I met John, I started to open up a little through love and that’s the greatest thing that happened to me yet. I never met anybody else who could understand me.

Your life is not falling apart. It is changing. Make it into a good change by knowing that it may be a blessing in disguise. Think differently for your survival.
Dear Friends
Every day, 100 Americans are shot and killed with guns.
We are turning this beautiful country into a War Zone.
Together, let's bring back America, the green land of Peace.
Start doing something good. It could be just cleaning out your old closet, or calling your Mom and give her a pep talk. Just anything you can do that is outside of yourself. It will make you feel a bit better. And then you will know what you have to do. Keep doing good things.
Dear Friends,
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou - for all your lovely birthday messages.
You have made this Birthday Gal very happy!
My Birthday Wish today is for us all to take some time every day to IMAGINE PEACE: Think Peace, Act Peace, Spread Peace.
I love you!

Do something good every day. It could be a small thing like calling a friend you have been ignoring for some time. It could be just smiling and giving a little wink to your sister who is looking depressed.
Rest in peace, beautiful Lisa Marie. Our love and deepest condolences go out to Priscilla, Riley, Finley and Harper and all the Presley family - our hearts are with you. love, yoko
