We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Life is an adventure of our own design intersected by fate and a series of lucky and unlucky accidents.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Hail brother, the distant thunder is nothing but hearts beating as one.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I always thought my father [i...

I always thought my father [influenced me most] because he was so well read, I tried to model myself on him, but really as I go through life I realise it was my mother who gave me the most valuable instructions. I didn't understand or accept it at the time. She taught me to read and to pray - two things that have really stayed with me.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

The way our big cities change...

The way our big cities change sucks. The beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. Artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. Not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. Big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. For me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I wasn't attractive, I wasn't...

I wasn't attractive, I wasn't very verbal, I wasn't very smart in school. I wasn't anything that showed the world I was something special, but I had this tremendous hope all the time. I had this tremendous spirit that kept me going... I was a happy child, because I had this feeling that I was going to go beyond my body physical... I just knew it.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

The people have the power to redeem the work of fools. Upon the meek the graces shower, it's decreed the people rule.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I think really that's just th...

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.

Punk rock is just another word for freedom.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

When I started making music, ...

When I started making music, we'd lost a lot of our great people. Rock was moving in a direction I didn't like. Rock was my generation's revolutionary, sexual, poetic, and political voice, but it had become corporatized. It was going into stadiums. It was so far removed from its basic roots.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

We wanted, it seemed, what we...

We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I love to photograph the tool...

I love to photograph the tools of one's trade: Duncan Grant's paintbrushes, the typewriter of Herman Hesse, or even my own guitar, a 1957 Fender Duo-Sonic.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

You can't work on that scale ...

You can't work on that scale without trust. I learned that from working with Robert Mapplethorpe.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

New York is the thing that se...

New York is the thing that seduced me. New York is the thing that formed me. New York is the thing that deformed me. New York is the thing that perverted me. New York is the thing that converted me. And New York is the thing that I love too.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I love being alive. I like being a human being.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Arthur Conan Doyle had to be Sherlock Holmes in order to envision how Sherlock Holmes would unravel a mystery. He had to be in Sherlock's situations. As a writer, you have to be of two minds.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

The film [Dream of Life] is the way it is because it was the rhythm of my life, and also because the director and the editor are both gifted and both fine human beings.

I liked being on stage, I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.

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.
