Quotes
"The first time I arrived in Dubai in August '61, I had my suitcase in my hand, and I remember looking around and getting darker, and you couldn't even see a little light from the airport. Everyone disappeared; Now, where do I go? Which direction do I? - Suddenly, a Land Rover arrived to refuel the plane. I approached them, and they were all Catholic boys; they heard that I was a priest. The joy I saw in the face of those people is something so beautiful I'll never forget."
