More quotes by Patti Smith
Committing great work does not necessarily feed you.
Patti Smith
I think really that's just the basic Christian lesson that sometimes takes us years and years to understand - have equal concern for another human being as you have for yourself or perhaps even more concern for another human being than you have for yourself.
Patti Smith
I'm an intuitive musician. I have no real technical skills. I can only play six chords on the guitar.
Patti Smith
I have loved books all my life. There is nothing more beautiful in our material world than the book.
Patti Smith
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.
Patti Smith
I think that there is an air of experience and aesthetic sophistication that weaves in with the amateur aspects of the film [Dream of Life] it gives the film a certain elegance.
Patti Smith
I never felt oppressed because of my gender. When I'm writing a poem or drawing, I'm not a female I'm an artist.
Patti Smith
I want to keep my life as unfettered as possible. So maybe I'll just pretend to get rare books from my catalogue, and not really get them.
Patti Smith
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.
Patti Smith
If we keep our little flame alive, our first feeling of enthusiasm of who we are, without the influence or intervention of others, we will prevail.
Patti Smith
I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me.
Patti Smith
Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.
Patti Smith
I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.
Patti Smith
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
People need space to air out their thoughts, to have a sense of themselves - unfettered by anything.
Patti Smith
I gave you a wrist watch, baby, and you wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Patti Smith
A lullaby should be timeless because it's a timeless concept - the birth of the child.
Patti Smith
I studied the Bible seriously until I was young teenager. It was always part of our home education: talking about the Bible, arguing about the Bible, interpreting it. So I don't connect prayer or scriptures with any particular religion so it's not a contradiction in my life.
Patti Smith
When I was working on the lyrics, I thought of all the lullabies we learn as children: Away in the Manger, William Blake's lullabies. I realized that the key to lullabies is simplicity.
Patti Smith
