I still don't want to be put ...

I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I started thinking what could...

I started thinking what could happen with my art and I realized that the biggest thing that could is that it winds up in a museum. It's like finding a rare animal and putting it in the zoo.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Steven [Sebring] was document...

Steven [Sebring] was documenting me as a widow with two children, going from 50 to 60 years old. My focus, during that time, was to rediscover myself, stay healthy, take care of my kids and reestablish a relationship with the people.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I don't know why, the very fi...

I don't know why, the very first word on my very first record is 'Jesus.' I still invoke him as an entity to reckon with.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Should I pursue a path so twi...

Should I pursue a path so twisted? Should I crawl defeated and gifted?

He found it was as easy to hurl beauty as anything else. (On Robert Mapplethorpe)

Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.

There's nothing cool about being self-destructive.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Yet you could feel a vibratio...

Yet you could feel a vibration in the air, a sense of hastening. It had started with the moon, inaccessible poem that it was. Now men had walked upon it, rubber treads on a pearl of the gods. Perhaps it was an awareness of time passing, the last summer of the decade. Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

The film [Dream of Life], in ...

The film [Dream of Life], in the end, is life-affirming, and I think it's always useful for people to be reminded that no matter how rough things get, no matter what kind of twists and turns our lives can take, we can keep going, we can create something new.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

There were days, rainy gray d...

There were days, rainy gray days, when the streets of Brooklyn were worthy of a photograph, every window the lens of a Leica, the view grainy and immobile. We gathered our colored pencils and sheets of paper and drew like wild, feral children into the night, until, exhausted, we fell into bed. We lay in each other's arms, still awkward but happy, exchanging breathless kisses into sleep.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I've embraced rock 'n' roll because it encompasses all the things I'm interested in: poetry, revolution, sexuality, political activism - all of these things can be found in rock 'n' roll. But I am also engaged in all of these things separately.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

What is the impulse that drov...

What is the impulse that drove to direct? To me, it seems so immense. Just having a rock 'n' roll band, or to go from the solitude of writing and to having to collaborate, is almost schizophrenic.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I believe we all have a uniqu...

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 371 quotes

The film [Dream of Life] is not really an amateur work, despite the fact that none of us have ever done anything like this before; aesthetically, none of us are amateurs.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I don't like answering to oth...

I don't like answering to other people's philosophies. I don't have any philosophy, I just believe in stuff. Either I believe in something or I don't. Like, I believe in the Rolling Stones but not in the Dave Clark Five. There's nothing philosophic about it. Whenever I'm linked with a movement, it pisses me off.

It got to the point where I started hiding because I didn't want to be photographed. (On living with Robert Mapplethorpe)

Patti Smith 371 quotes

One thing I like about getting older is things, your spectrum widens, your capacity for compassion widens.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Poetry is a solitary process....

Poetry is a solitary process. One does not write poetry for the masses. Poetry is a self-involved, lofty pursuit. Songs are for the people. When I'm writing a song, I imagine performing it. I imagine giving it. It's a different aspect of communication. It's for the people.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

What I've always tried to do ...

What I've always tried to do is to express the highest point of me, and rock 'n' roll is the first and the most open form created by our generation. The cool thing about it is that you get the power, you get the rhythm; you can be taken over sexually, you can be taken over cerebrally; it's great to look at - it's a package deal.
