Quotes from a book?

Question

Will someone please help me find quotes from the book "interpreter of maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri?

I read the book, but didn't notice that one of the questions that I have to answer is finding my favorite sentences. I figured that the quotes could help me out.

Anyone? Thanks.

Answer 1

I like it when Mr. Kaspasi, after he had told his passengers he was an interpreter for a doctor and they compliment him, begins to think of his job:

"The job was a sign of his failings. In his youth, he'd been a devoted scholar of languages, the owner of an impressive collection of dictionaries. He had dreamed of being an interpreter for diplomats and dignitaries, resolving conflicts between people and nations, settling disputes of which he alone could understand both sides."

Hope it helps.
