More quotes by Patti Smith
As far as I'm concerned, being any gender is a drag.
Patti Smith
One thing I like about getting older is things, your spectrum widens, your capacity for compassion widens.
Patti Smith
My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. So he didn't come anymore, but I had his support.
Patti Smith
Christianity made us think there's one heaven.
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
I think masturbating is a really important function in art. People don't like to hear that kind of stuff, but it's true.
Patti Smith
I never really wanted to be a singer - not with any longevity. But I always wanted to be a writer.
Patti Smith
I walk alone, assaulted it seems, by tears from heaven.
Patti Smith
A good artist's always got his hand in his zipper.
Patti Smith
The sea is greater than us - it has its rhythm, its art. It comes with our earliest memory, of respiration, breathing in and out.
Patti Smith
Deep in my heart how the presence of you shines, in a light to last a whole life through.
Patti Smith
We believe we will raise the sky, we got to fly over the land, over the sea. Fate unwinds and if we die, souls arise. God, do not seize me please.
Patti Smith
I wasn't taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.
Patti Smith
By the time I was 10 or 11, I was completely demoralized. I thought, I'm done. I'm never going to be a missionary, because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a Chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.
Patti Smith
I'm not a critic. I'm not a journalist. I'm not a philosopher. Arguing that punk has run its course is like saying painting ran its course after the Renaissance. Punk is an idea. It's freedom. And it'll be around 200 years from now for the people who want it.
Patti Smith
When I perform, I always opt for communication with God, and in pursuit of communicating with God, you can enter some very dangerous territory. I also have come to realize that total communication with God is physical death.
Patti Smith
One of my great goals when I first started taking photographs or showing them publicly is that people might want one for over their desk. That's my goal.
Patti Smith
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.
Patti Smith
I don't think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things I'm concerned about are at the top of other people's agendas - not right now, when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change.
Patti Smith
