We tried not to age, but time had its rage. Patti Smith
For a time Robert protected me, then was dependent on me, and then possessive of me. His transformation was the rose of Genet, and he was pierced deeply by his blooming. Patti Smith
Patti Smith quote: "Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live..."
Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of. Patti Smith
Patti Smith quote: "I want to be around a really long time. I want to be a thorn..."
