Patti Smith
We tried not to age, but time had its rage.
Patti Smith
I have abandoned so many projects but in the '80s when I left public life to be married and have real children - I love my children and I would never sacrifice them for anything - I had to find a way to simultaneously be a mother and wife and fulfill my duties and still be true to myself as a writer.
Patti Smith
Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.
Patti Smith
I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.

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

Patti Smith
Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.

For me, personally, I think drugs are sacred and should be used for work. That's what I believe in. Drugs have a real shamanistic value. I can handle drugs. I've never had a problem.
Patti Smith
In the period where I had to live the life of a citizen - a life where, like everybody else, I did tons of laundry and cleaned toilet bowls, changed hundreds of diapers and nursed children - I learned a lot.
Patti Smith
The thing I've always liked about performing is that I decide what I want to wear, whether I want to comb my hair.
Patti Smith
Love is an angel disguised as lust.
Patti Smith
I knew if I lived long enough I would be poet laureate of something.
