Paul Theroux Quote
A little farther on, he said, What do you think of India? It’s a hard question, I said. I wanted to tell him about the children I had seen that morning pathetically raiding the leftovers of my breakfast, and ask him if he thought there was any truth in Mark Twain’s comment on Indians: It is a curious people. With them, all life seems to be sacred except human life. But I added instead, I haven’t been here very long.
