Quote by -Patti Smith

Quote by -Patti Smith
We learned we wanted too much. We could only give from the perspective of who we were and what we had. Apart, we were able to see with even greater clarity that we didn’t want to be without each other.
Quote by -Patti Smith
But secretly I knew I had been transformed, moved by the revalation that human beings create art, that to be an artist was to see what others could not.
Quote by -Patti Smith
What is the soul? What color is it? I suspected my soul, being mischievous, might slip away while I was dreaming and fail to return. I did my best not to fall asleep, to keep it inside of me where it belonged.

Quote by -Patti Smith

Quote by -Patti Smith
I understood that in this small space of time we had mutually surrendered our loneliness and replaced it with trust.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Patti Smith
Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.

Quote by -Patti Smith
In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth. For nothing is more precious than the life force and may the love of that force guide you as you go.
