Im not saying I wasnt flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business. – Patti Smith
Good news doesnt necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to ones fellow man. – Patti Smith
I dont think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things Im concerned about are at the top of other peoples agendas – not right now, when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially.

Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it. РPata̱jali
A preoccupied family: they none of them threw themselves into the interests of the rest, but each ploughed his or her own furrow. Their thoughts, their little passions and hopes and desires, all ran along separate lines. Family life is like this—animated, but collateral. – Rose Macaulay, Daisy & Daphne, 1928
