Gypsy Quotations
One of my favorite people is Gypsy Rose Lee. She bears out the Biblical promise that he who has, gets. And I hope she gets a lot more.
Hedy Lamarr
As the mother teaches her children how to express themselves in their language, so one Gypsy musician teaches the other. They have never shown any need for notation.
Franz Liszt
It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy.
Franz Liszt
I like the gypsy aspect of this business.
Jimmy Smits
Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.
Reba McEntire
My whole life was foretold to me. An old Romany gypsy read my fortune.
Maureen O'Hara
I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.
Brittany Murphy
Gypsy was the name my brother gave a pet turtle he had. I always thought it was so peculiar.
Joel Hodgson
Time, you old gypsy man, will you not stay, put up your caravan just for one day?
Ralph Hodgson
I've played four characters now, my latest one being Sandor the gypsy.
