More quotes by Patti Smith
My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. So he didn't come anymore, but I had his support.
Patti Smith
I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.
Patti Smith
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
Art is by nature optimistic. Art is optimistic because it is alive.
Patti Smith
I've never felt grounded because of my ancestry or my gender. I think until women get away from that they're not going to be great writers.
Patti Smith
Social media could be very strong in terms of bringing people together but it also takes up so much of people's time that I wonder if we've lost the ability to daydream.
Patti Smith
If I'm really working on something, writing or painting or really concentrating, I don't even think about brushing my hair.

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
The sea is greater than us - it has its rhythm, its art. It comes with our earliest memory, of respiration, breathing in and out.
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
You can't carve up the world. It's not a pie.
Patti Smith
I was so horny in school it felt like my body was filled with electricity. I felt like I had neon bones or something.
Patti Smith
Fate is like a secret friend that helps push you on into life.
Patti Smith
New York has closed itself off to the young and the struggling. But there are other cities. Detroit. Poughkeepsie. New York City has been taken away from you. So my advice is: Find a new city.
Patti Smith
I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.
Patti Smith
The film [Dream of Life] is the way it is because it was the rhythm of my life, and also because the director and the editor are both gifted and both fine human beings.
Patti Smith
Sometimes you have to abandon your own children for other children.
Patti Smith
People say the media is feeding the public's hunger for celebrity news, but that's the drug pusher's mentality. I don't think anybody would be pining for news about Angelina Jolie's babies if it weren't being given to them in the first place.
Patti Smith
I studied the Bible seriously until I was young teenager. It was always part of our home education: talking about the Bible, arguing about the Bible, interpreting it. So I don't connect prayer or scriptures with any particular religion so it's not a contradiction in my life.
