“I don’t think they (the Chinese) have better friends in Africa than us. But when we compare to how much money we get, if we succeed, if the MCA is funded by the US Congress for Tanzania, it’s going to be $700 Million. It’s going to be huge, it may be a total of all the Chinese have been giving us all these years.”

“We never made love in a bag. People probably imagined that we were making love. It was just, all of us are in a bag, you know. The point was the outline of the bag, you know, the movement of the bag, how much we see of a person, you know. But, inside, there might be a lot going on. Or maybe nothing's going on.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Molti pensieri spesso ci divorano. Tutti abbiamo un passato più o meno bello e tutti possiamo andare in tilt, ma considerare le esperienze vissute come un'opportunità di apprendimento... ci aiuterà ad amare il presente e il futuro della vita.

singing love wherever we go.”
