More quotes by Patti Smith
I've always thrived on the encouragement of others.
Patti Smith
Swift is the arrow, dark is the thorn, the slate is clean, the future awaits, awake.
Patti Smith
First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.
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
I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.
Patti Smith
Why do people want to know exactly who I am? Am I a poet? Am I this or that? I've always made people wary. First they called me a rock poet. Then I was a poet that dabbled in rock. Then I was a rock person who dabbled in art.
Patti Smith
Just because I've extricated myself from religion doesn't mean I'm not interested in the scriptures. I look at the Bible as itself. It's a holy book, it has incredible literature in it and beautiful poetry.
Patti Smith
When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.
Patti Smith
The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.
Patti Smith
As a child I was such an intense daydreamer I could be so gone that I had to be smacked to come back. They were really worried that I had some kind of catatonia or something because I would go so far out. Because all I wanted to do was talk to god as a child.
Patti Smith
I don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.
Patti Smith
I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.
Patti Smith
You don't want to OD on improvisation.
Patti Smith
I always hope that young people will think for themselves and also most importantly, understand that they should judge themselves on their own merit, their good deeds, however simple, to not judge themselves by what they have materially, by what other people think of them, through social media.
Patti Smith
Your soul was like a network of spittle.
Patti Smith
Even as a child, I knew what I didn't want. I didn't want to wear red lipstick.
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
I was raised in rural south Jersey, and there was no culture there. There was a small library, and that was it. There was nothing else.
Patti Smith
By the time I was 10 or 11, I was completely demoralized. I thought, I'm done. I'm never going to be a missionary, because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a Chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.
Patti Smith
Deep in my heart how the presence of you shines, in a light to last a whole life through.
Patti Smith
