More quotes by Patti Smith
My mother answers all my fan mail.
Patti Smith
I've lost many, many friends through natural causes, through alcohol, through drugs, through AIDS. And every time I lose a friend or a loved one, it reminds me how great life is.
Patti Smith
Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.
Patti Smith
If the postman is saying hello to you, then I feel like, wow, thats something special.
Patti Smith
I wish I could just project everything on the paper.
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 had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.
Patti Smith
Polaroid by its nature makes you frugal. You walk around with maybe two packs of film in your pocket. You have 20 shots, so each shot is a world.
Patti Smith
I hate to be enclosed. I don't like bathroom doors - I don't shut them. In fact, in my house, I have no doors.
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
The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.
Patti Smith
I have loved books all my life. There is nothing more beautiful in our material world than the book.
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
I got over the loss of his desk and chair, but never the desire to produce a string of words more precious than the emeralds of Cortés.
Patti Smith
People have the power to redeem the work of fools.
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
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
Patti Smith
The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.
Patti Smith
The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.
Patti Smith
What I say should always be prefaced with this: I'm not really politically articulate. I just try to be like Thomas Paine: what is common sense? So when I say these things to you, I am speaking from a humanist point of view. I just look around and see what's wrong.
Patti Smith
