More quotes by 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'm okay with roaming around the world in my bunk for days on end. Maybe every third day I'll get a shower or stumble out at dawn and realize I'm in a field in Poland. I like that kind of life.
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
Your soul was like a network of spittle.
Patti Smith
Often the simplest song is the hardest to write.
Patti Smith

Patti Smith
I believe we all have a unique journey, whether its a journey of pure energy, if there's any intelligence within the journey. But I think each of us have our own way of dissipating or entering a new field.
Patti Smith
We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free.
Patti Smith
I wanted to remember the original energy strip away all the glamour and limousines and tons of drugs. I wanted to get back to the revolutionary ideas, merging poetry and rhythm and rock and roll.
Patti Smith
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe, love is a banquet on which we feed.
Patti Smith
Sometimes I get lost in watching a film. The sorrow, or the frustration, is when it doesn't happen for a long time.
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
My father hated rock and roll - hated it. My first real argument with my father was over the Rolling Stones. And he never, ever liked rock and roll. He just liked me.
Patti Smith
I reflected on the fact that no matter how good I aspired to be, I was never going to achieve perfection
Patti Smith
I didn't write about aspects of my public life because that's a small part of my life.
Patti Smith
