Memorable Quotes by Didier:
“Craziness is the basis of many a fine relationships. In fact, craziness is the basis of every fine relationship!”
“The dishonest bribe is the same in every country, but the honest bribe is India's alone.”
“I am French. I am gay, I am Jewish, and I am a criminal, more or less in that order. Bombay is the only city I have ever found that allows me to be all four of those things, at the same time.”
“I hate it when people take so long to drink a single glass. It is like putting on a condom to masturbate.”
“They are not perfect, of course. They know how to fight and lie and cheat each other, and all the things that all of us do. But more than any other people in the world, the Indians know how to love one another.”
“Every city in the world has a village in its heart. You will never understand the city unless you first understand the village.”
“When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.”
“'The Indians are the Italians of Asia.....It can be said, certainly, with equal justice, that the Italians are the Indians of Europe, but you do understand me, I think. There is so much Italian in the Indians, and so much Indian in the Italians. They are both people of the Madonna - they demand a goddess, even if the religion does not provide one. Every man in both countries is a singer when he is happy, and every woman is a dancer when she walks to the shop at the corner. For then, food is the music inside the body, and music is food inside the heart. The language of India and the language of Italy, they make every man a poet, and make something beautiful from every banalite. These are the nations where love - amore, pyaar - makes a cavalier of a Borsalino on the street, and makes a princess of a peasant girl, if only for the second that her eyes meet yous."”
