have just been passed this small black book TAXI DRIVER WISDOM - a collection of apparent quotes by New York cab drivers together with some really nice b&w lomo-style photos - really funny and amazingly philosophical what these guys come up with.. haha... :p

On the human condition: "You say you are happy, you are lying." On chemistry: "Love is 90% responsibility. Whatever that other 10 percent is, it must be quite something." On cat fighting: "This jealousy I have seen in my sisters, but not in my brothers."

No regrets: "Each day is like another bud on a tree: impossible, without the tree beneath it." At peace: "I like driving. Otherwise I take another job. Each thing can be everything for you. You make driving everything." On understanding: "If there is understanding, there is love. If there is no understanding, there is only an endless stream of questions." Reading signs: "If a man keeps telling you he loves you, over and over, then something is wrong."

On motive: "We do everything for ourselves." On women who claim to love boring men: "What everyone likes the best is money, but they don't say it." On better halves: "People look so much better alone." On the rhythm of life: "The traffic - it slows, it speeds up again for no reason sometimes." On finding a mother: "Women choose who they love the most. Men choose who loves them the most." On identity crises: "Whatever you become, someone will long for what you were." Ashes to ashes: "We are all born poor."
