Patti Smith Advice to the young
“Something within her refused to grow. Something endless, eternal. Something bold. Something warrior-like. She looked up at the stars, she could feel, she felt as if she could pluck them one by one and send them spinning into the world, like small beautiful elastic mercurial weapons. Now too, the time is coming.”
— Patti Smith’s beautiful tribute to Virginia Woolf, who took her own life on March 28, 1941. (via explore-blog)

In the elevator with Patti Smith, who’s now working on the screen adaptation of her memoir, Just Kids, January 1st, 2012
“Some of us are born rebellious. I remember passing shopwindows with my mother and asking why people just didn’t kick them in.… She explained that there were unspoken rules of social behavior, and that’s how we coexist as people. I felt instantly confined by the notion that we are born into a world where everything was mapped out by those before us.” - Patti Smith, Just Kids
