Patti SmithI understood that in this small space of time we had mutually surrendered our loneliness and replaced it with trust.
Patti SmithI wasn't attractive, I wasn't very verbal, I wasn't very smart in school. I wasn't anything that showed the world I was something special, but I had this tremendous hope all the time. I had this tremendous spirit that kept me going... I was a happy child, because I had this feeling that I was going to go beyond my body physical... I just knew it.
