More quotes by Patti Smith
Life is like a roller coaster. It's never going to be perfect - it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it's all worth it.
Patti Smith
I like my time on earth. And no matter what kind of cards I've been dealt, I'm happy to be there.
Patti Smith
I love my little overgrown yard. And my house is wonderful. It's everything that I need.
Patti Smith
The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.
Patti Smith
I think it's good for people to see the positive beauty that can flower from the deepest grieving.
Patti Smith
Put down your cell phones, put everything away, and feel your blood pulsing in you, feel your creative impulse, feel your own spirit, your heart, your mind. Feel the joy of being alive and free.
Patti Smith
People like beauty and purity. They pretend that's what it's all about.
Patti Smith
For Christmas every year, my mother used to give me those cheap little diaries that would tell your horoscope and provide a little blank slot for each day.
Patti Smith
I was so involved in my boy-rhythms that I never came to grips with the fact that I was a girl. I was twelve years old when my mother took me inside and said, You can't be outside wrestling without a T-shirt on. It was a trauma.
Patti Smith
Everybody's got to reclaim these thingspoetry, rock'n'roll, political activismand it's got to be done over and over again. It's like eating: you can't say,'Oh, I ate yesterday'.You have to eat again.
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 never really wanted to be a singer - not with any longevity. But I always wanted to be a writer.
Patti Smith
I always wrote like rock 'n' roll. And I always listen to rock 'n' roll as poetry.
Patti Smith
Art is by nature optimistic. Art is optimistic because it is alive.
Patti Smith
I really don't want somebody writing something positive about me if they don't believe in it. I'd rather somebody write something real mean. I like reading bad stuff, it gets me excited. In fact, the only reviews I keep are the bad ones 'cause I think they're the cool ones.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
Since I was a child, I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid, I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants, and that's what I wanted to wear everyday.
Patti Smith
Paths that cross will cross again
Patti Smith
Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.
Patti Smith
Spare the child and spoil the rod, I am not sellin' myself to god.
Patti Smith
