A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hail a taxi cab, open the door to a burst of easy listening music, breathe in the poppy air freshener, lean over the seat, and say hello to the next Jean Paul Sartre or Kahlil Gibran. Taxi Driver Wisdom takes readers behind the Plexiglass curtain with pearls of wisdom from the most multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious group of philosophers ever assembled: New York Cab drivers. Atmospheric black and white photographs are paired with pithy quotes from downtown Descartes and freeway Foucaults-and bound with a faux leather cover just like the finest cab upholstery. Cheaper than an ashram and less of a hassle than Freudian analysis, Taxi Driver Wisdom is the shortest possible route to enlightenment. You may never want to take the bus again.

Revue de presse :

If a man keeps telling you he loves you, over and over, then something is wrong.

If someone gets rich, I do not cheer for them. I weep for myself.

The things you love are as stupid as the things you hate and are easily interchangeable.

Don't look at what he is not. Look at what he is.

I see more of what is going on around me because I am not concerned with finding a parking place.
