Patti Smith Quotes About Culture

Quotes about: Culture

It's people's heritage.

Material pressure, social pressure, visual pressure, how you look, and I just try to appeal to young people to think for themselves, to be their own person, and to ask questions and also be very attentive to our planet and our environment.
