The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Your soul was like a network ...

Your soul was like a network of spittle.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I think guys are more emotion...

I think guys are more emotional. Men are supposed to be the strong ones, they have pressure on them to be strong, but when it comes to sex men are much more emotional than women.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Ultimately, we are not seekin...

Ultimately, we are not seeking others to bow to, but to reinforce our individual natures, to help us suffer our own choices, to guide us on our own particular journeys.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I longed to read everything I...

I longed to read everything I possibly could, and the things I read in turn produced new yearnings.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

We have to believe, as creato...

We have to believe, as creators - just like a doctor doing heart surgery has to believe that he can save that person's life. You have to believe that your pursuit is not just a noble pursuit, but a necessary and inborn pursuit to uncover something.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I didn't want any middle-of-t...

I didn't want any middle-of-the-road creep. I always wanted the toughest guy in school, the guy from south Philly who wore tight black pants. Y'know, the guy who carried the umbrella and wore white shirts with real thin black ties. I was really nuts over this guy named Butchie Magic 'cause he let me carry his switchblade.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

America is run by corporation...

America is run by corporations, it is run by banks and Wall Street. That's why we can't get guns under control. It's because all these lobbyists don't want gun control, they don't want us to have strong environmental safety guards. Young people can become aware of that and they are the most powerful lobby. With a click of a text, you can have millions of people voting for one person.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I think it's important for pe...

I think it's important for people to realize that we were all young, all naive, and also we had lived in a time that had magic.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I wanted to see who this Yeat...

I wanted to see who this Yeats person was, and I said to my mother, 'I want a book by this person.' And she bought it for me, and a lot of it was over my head, but I had it.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

As a child I was such an inte...

As a child I was such an intense daydreamer; I could be so gone that I had to be smacked to come back. They were really worried that I had some kind of catatonia or something because I would go so far out. Because all I wanted to do was talk to god as a child.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I have seen a lifetime of transgender people and it was hard enough being gay in the '50s and early '60s. One couldn't imagine the cruelty that trans people had to face back then.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Sometimes you write passages ...

Sometimes you write passages that don't need to be rewritten. Performance is that for me. Improvisation, things that happen in the moment, are sometimes wonderful, or wonderful as a moment to be shared between performer and people, but that's it. There might be a strong bond between you and the people, a transformative night, but as a live record it might not translate.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

Fate is like a secret friend ...

Fate is like a secret friend that helps push you on into life.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I never thought of being a pe...

I never thought of being a performer, never thought of being a singer, never thought of being a photographer. It's just the trajectory of my work. I go to the medium that serves the vision.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

People don't realize we have ...

People don't realize we have these built-in seven-league boots. The body can go anywhere. It is physically capable of sustaining almost any kind of abuse, or any dream.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I'm estranged from social med...

I'm estranged from social media and I don't really deal with it. I tried to work on a website and it took up all my time. People wanted me to have a Twitter account and I spent the whole day figuring out what would be the first message. I still haven't wrapped my head around it.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

In any performance, you're on...

In any performance, you're on stage for two hours, and there's 40 seconds or maybe a whole five minutes where you feel like the whole universe is in place, and you've gone even beyond the universe that you know.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

I think it's really great tha...

I think it's really great that people share their work [on Myspace] and no one is paying for it. I think that's a very healthy thing and it's not a corporate thing.

Patti Smith 371 quotes

As an artist, I never wanted ...

As an artist, I never wanted to be fettered by gender nor recognized or defined as a female poet, musician or singer. They don't do that with men - nobody says Picasso, the male artist. Curators call me up and say, "We want your work to be in a show about women artists," and I'm like, why? For Christ's sake, do we have to attach a gender onto everything?
