More quotes by Patti Smith
I've never felt grounded because of my ancestry or my gender. I think until women get away from that they're not going to be great writers.
Patti Smith
John Coltrane, he talks to god. He starts playing his solo, he might play for 14 minutes. For 14 minutes, it seems like he's talking to god, but he always takes a hold of the melody.
Patti Smith
We tried not to age, but time had its rage.
Patti Smith
It's not that I have compromised or anything, but it's always been important to me to take good care of myself and be a good example. I'm not much a role model in terms of hair care, though.
Patti Smith
If someone didn't want to be filmed, or my children said, Don't film me anymore, [Steven Sebring] didn't try to sneak a shot or cajole them he just respected their wishes.
Patti Smith
For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.
Patti Smith
I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.
Patti Smith
Nothing is a hobby - each discipline is its own world with its own high standards. Of course, every artist has 'minor works' that they do, but I don't think I have any 'minor disciplines.'
Patti Smith

Patti Smith
My father's mother was from Liverpool and she had this very beautiful English china. I only wanted to drink my cocoa out of my grandmother's cup and saucer.
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
Wisdom was a teapot, pouring from above. Desolation angels, served it up with love.
Patti Smith
Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.
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
Even as a child, I knew what I didn't want. I didn't want to wear red lipstick.
Patti Smith
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
Patti Smith
Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.
Patti Smith
I know from an early age that I'm very comfortable in front of people. When I was a young girl, I'd love giving book reports.
Patti Smith
Words are just rules and regulations to me.
Patti Smith
