If I had a bible this would be it. Whenever I have needed to be grounded I will flip through the quotes in this book. So much great insight. I picked it up and bought it so casually 10 years ago and it has stayed close to me ever since.
beberapa quote didalamnya:
* I am for better always. I am for future.
* Never be embarrassed about something you like.
* You say you are happy. You are lying.
* If you are good at anything, that is beauty.
* When there is something you want, it seems it is everywhere.
* If someone steals your cab, then it wasn't your cab.

An attractive hardcover small enough to fit in a pocket, a quick read chock-full of wit. Excellent for commutes, reading while waiting for the laundry to be finished, or any number of things. (Also, a truly awesome thrift-store find.) (:
Wait a tic. This is my second NYC cabbie book. Hmm.

My initial expectations for this book were quite low. I read it on a bored Saturday night in the dark days of 2001 and was very impressed by it. If I lived in a city that leant itself to frequent taxi-ing, I would definitely talk to my drivers about their experiences.
Reality checks "in" from the dearest man who knows the streets of NYC; my Cabbie!!

Cute despite the odd padded cover. Is it supposed to be like a taxi seat?
