Patti SmithMy mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We're all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it.
Patti SmithI've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti SmithWhere does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed. It leads to each other. We become ourselves.
