We Borrow the Earth and Romani Traditions

Sales of the second edition of We Borrow the Earth are doing good, and that, I hope, means that some of the earlier traditions in this country will begin to have a place in our society.

Quotes by Patrick Jasper Lee  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The world has a fast-growing problematic disability, which forges bonds in families, causes people to communicate in direct and clear ways, cuts down meaningless social interaction, pushes people to the limit with learning about themselves, whilst making them work together to make a better world. It’s called Autism – and I can’t see anything wrong with it, can you? Boy I’m glad I also have this disability!”
Patrick Jasper Lee

“Know that you’ve seen life, and know that it shows. This is the Gypsy way.”
Patrick Jasper Lee, Coming Home to the Trees: Travelling with the Gypsy Spirit of the Past

“Should we stand with the masses who can’t stand for anything at all and who can only think in a finite manner, are we not alone anyway?”
Patrick Jasper Lee, Coming Home to the Trees: Travelling with the Gypsy Spirit of the Past
