Quote

I'm a total failure at housewifery. I always have been, 'cause I daydream too much. If I start doing the dishes at one in the afternoon, I'll still be there at six in the evening.

First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.
Patti Smith
Image
I think it's good for people to see the positive beauty that can flower from the deepest grieving.
Patti Smith
Image
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
Image
I'm from South Jersey: The idea of eating a roll with olive oil and anchovies or some kind of sardine and drinking mint tea definitely comes from reading Paul Bowles.

Hail brother, the distant thunder is nothing but hearts beating as one.
Patti Smith
Image
I find it painful when I'm without anything. But I work in multiple fields. If I can't write, I find myself taking photographs. I can go on the road and perform. But the most important thing for me is writing, and when I hit those walls, it's painful.

I have great respect for my parents. I got such beautiful things from both of them. It doesn't mean that we didn't have our rough times, but they were remarkable people who were open-minded, creative and hard-working, and had great senses of humor.

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe, love is a banquet on which we feed.
Patti Smith

Horses pretty much broke as a record in England.

We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world.
Patti Smith
Image
I was always trying to pick guys up. I'd ask guys out and stuff like that. I had no pride. I was the biggest lurch at dances, waiting for the ladies' choice. I'd lunge at my prey like a baby wolf.

Sometimes you have to abandon your own children for other children.
Patti Smith
Image
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.
