A Quote by Patti Smith

An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God. — © Patti Smith
An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God.
Each man enters into God so much as God enters into him.
What has the Cross left in each of us? You see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which God has for us. A love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. It is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.
An artist is somebody that puts themselves in a room, they're a wee bit self-indulgent and you know, sink into their music and it [will] be a very personal experience. An entertainer was somebody that took their God-given talent and shared it with people. And I've always wanted to be an entertainer.
This is a business, and no one enters a race not to finish first. I wouldn't say I'm in it for the competition, but I'm certainly not just in it to coast along. I want to be the best I possibly can be.
Although I still have a long way to go, I would like to become the pride of Asia. When another Asian artist enters the U.S. market, I would like him to think, 'There was an artist called Rain who succeeded in the U.S. market.' This is my dream.
I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.
Pride is competition-competition between God and Man.
At the very point of vulnerability is where the surrender takes place-that is where the god enters. The god comes through the wound.
God enters the world through those of us who are willing to let God participate fully in our lives.
Open your heart and invite God into every circumstance because when God enters the scene, miracles happen.
In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.
The moment the angel enters a life it enters an environment. We are ecological from day one.
Race, what is that? Race is a competition, somebody winning and somebody losing. Blood doesn't run in races! Come on!
The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.
The guy who enters pro sports hasn't run scared from the 7th grade on. Until he enters the pros, it's been nothing but roses.
There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.
