Jose Mourinho quote: "The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you..."
The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you not to play the violin but stick to the tambourine. Jose Mourinho
I went to this tattoo parlor in the East Village and I got an outline of a violin on my lower back. They call them tramp stamps now. Katherine Moennig
Edmond de Goncourt quote: "A poet is a man who puts up a ladder to a star and climbs it..."
A poet is a man who puts up a ladder to a star and climbs it while playing a violin. Edmond de Goncourt
Evelyn Glennie quote: "I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because..."
I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well. Evelyn Glennie
Peggy Fleming quote: "As a young child, I played the violin. I think that that..."
As a young child, I played the violin. I think that that started the spark. Peggy Fleming
You can imagine me as a kid growing up in redneck Texas with ballet shoes, tucking the violin under my arm. I had to fight my way up. Patrick Swayze

If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger. Andy Summers
