Deep in my heart how the presence of you shines, in a light to last a whole life through.
Patti Smith
A lullaby should be timeless because it's a timeless concept - the birth of the child.
Patti Smith

Patti Smith
People called me the godmother of punk, but I never name myself anything.

Patti Smith
I'm very comfortable with being a female now but when I was a little kid I only wanted to be a boy. I didn't want to be a girl. I didn't feel like a man inside... being a boy was just cooler.
Patti Smith
I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.
Patti Smith
Often the simplest song is the hardest to write.
Patti Smith
I was so used to doing art that my fingers were like albino spiders. So it was just natural for me to go to a typewriter and write poetry.
Patti Smith
[Steven Sebring] presence was also nice for my children, who, having just lost their father, quite naturally craved warm male attention. They gravitated to him right away.
Patti Smith
I think it's good for people to see the positive beauty that can flower from the deepest grieving.
Patti Smith
The artist seeks contact with his intuitive sense of the gods, but in order to create his work, he cannot stay in this seductive and incorporeal realm. He must return to the material world in order to do his work. It's the artist's responsibility to balance mystical communication and the labor of creation.
Patti Smith
My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, just to give them my energy and accept theirs.
Patti Smith
