From very early on in my childhood – four, five years old – I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet, because I felt disconnected – I was very tall and skinny, and I didnt look like anybody else, I didnt even look like any member of my family. – Patti Smith
Im not saying I wasnt flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business. – Patti Smith
To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. Its freedom. – Patti Smith
Good news doesnt necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to ones fellow man. – Patti Smith
All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family – and Gods love – this world would be a far more gentle and better place. – Mitt Romney
