More quotes by Patti Smith
For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.
Patti Smith
Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.
Patti Smith
Look at Obama - he is now [2015] trying to help us environmentally but he should have done it eight years ago. He's trying to salvage his legacy and trying to do something good but we needed for him to show leadership from day one.
Patti Smith
I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.
Patti Smith
I was always trying to pick guys up. I'd ask guys out and stuff like that. I had no pride. I was the biggest lurch at dances, waiting for the ladies' choice. I'd lunge at my prey like a baby wolf.
Patti Smith
I'd never had people drive me around, and then all of a sudden, if a car didn't come, I'd say, Where's my car?
Patti Smith
After writing all day I go for a walk and see a piece of architecture i want to photograph and i have to take a picture and later a poem comes in my mind.
Patti Smith
I think that there is an air of experience and aesthetic sophistication that weaves in with the amateur aspects of the film [Dream of Life] it gives the film a certain elegance.
Patti Smith
I was real religious when I was young. I wanted to be a missionary.
Patti Smith
New generations have unprecedented power to make great changes. Take the music business for example. The new generations have toppled the music industry by file sharing, downloading, and Myspace. Rock 'n' roll belongs to the people.
Patti Smith
Your soul was like a network of spittle.
Patti Smith
Hail brother, the distant thunder is nothing but hearts beating as one.
Patti Smith
I have great respect for my parents. I got such beautiful things from both of them. It doesn't mean that we didn't have our rough times, but they were remarkable people who were open-minded, creative and hard-working, and had great senses of humor.
Patti Smith
I had gone to Paris to immerse myself in painting and I came back wholly involved in words and rhythms.
Patti Smith
If someone didn't want to be filmed, or my children said, Don't film me anymore, [Steven Sebring] didn't try to sneak a shot or cajole them he just respected their wishes.
Patti Smith
Steven's [Sebring] presence was not threatening he told me that if I never wanted the footage to be seen by anyone, he would give it to me. So I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, and what I gained was his supportive energy and the supportive energy of his wife, who was sometimes the one schlepping the equipment or doing the sound.
Patti Smith
If we keep our little flame alive, our first feeling of enthusiasm of who we are, without the influence or intervention of others, we will prevail.
Patti Smith
A lullaby should be timeless because it's a timeless concept - the birth of the child.
Patti Smith
With the death of Robert Mapplethorpe, I had lost my main collaborator in taking photographs. So I didn't know who to work with.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
