Patti Smith
We used to laugh at our small selves, saying that I was a bad girl trying to be good and that he was a good boy trying to be bad. Through the years these roles would reverse, then reverse again, until we came to accept our dual natures. We contained opposing principles, light and dark.
Patti Smith
Sometimes you have to abandon your own children for other children.
Patti Smith

Patti Smith
