Charles Dickens
English Novelist
I know I do not exaggerate, unconsciously and unintentionally, the scantiness of my resources and the difficulty of my life... I know that, but for the mercy of God, I might easily have been, for any care that was taken of me, a little robber or a vagabond.
Quote examples
Jeff Garcia
American Athlete
I really want to make this the last stop of my career. I don't want to be a vagabond, so to speak, and be traveling from team to team, year in and year out. I'm not that type of guy. I like to be settled.
Quote examples
Kevin Bacon
American Actor
I'm a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment's notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time, is terrifying for me.
Quote examples
Julian Sands
British Actor
Actors have a magic gene within them - I think they're the finest descendants of rogues and vagabonds - and it's all too easily forgotten what the acting legacy is.
Quote examples
Oliver Goldsmith
Irish Poet
A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.
Quote examples
Sophie Thompson
English Actress
I wonder what it was like to be an actor years ago. We're so respected now and I don't think it does us any good. We used to be vagabonds. I want to be a vagabond!
Quote examples
Joel Kinnaman
Swedish Actor
As actors, we're like these vagabond artists: we have to be invited to perform, so if you don't have a choice of options, it's very hard to define yourself.

American Musician
I'm a traveler and a vagabond and an observer, and the songs come through that. And that's just the way it's going to be.

Thor Heyerdahl
Norwegian Explorer
In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.
