More From Salman Rushdie

I have transported many, thousands; and to all of them, my river has been nothing but an obstacle on their travels. they travelled to seek money and business, and for weddings, and on pilgrimages, and the river was obstructing their path, and the ferryman's job was to get them quickly across that obstacle. but for some among thousands, a few, four or five, the river has stopped being an obstacle, they have heard its voice, they have listened to it, and the river has become sacred to them, as it has become sacred to me.
Jobs Voice Rivers
Because what's the use of learning that i am one of a long row only - finding out that there is set down in some old book somebody just like me, and to know that i shall only act her part; making me sad, that's all. the best is not to remember your nature and your past doings have been just like thousands' and thousands', and that your coming life and doings'll be like thousands' and thousands'.
Book Past Long
Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. they voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.
Life Philosophical Unique
It really occurred to me at a certain point: women have not been embodied. feminism has not been embodied. it hasn't gotten into us in a way where it is so undeniable that there is nothing to prove. do you know what i mean? that we are so in our feminist skin, so to speak, that we are that world now.
Mean Feminist Feminism
Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!
Wall Lying Heart
It was as if thousands and thousands of little roots and threads of consciousness in him and her had grown together into a tangled mass, till they could crowd no more, and the plant was dying. now quietly, subtly, she was unravelling the tangle of his consciousness and hers, breaking the threads gently, one by one, with patience and impatience to get clear.
Roots Tangled Dying

Idleness among children, as among men, is the root of all evil, and leads to no other evil more certain than ill temper.

Nothing endures unless it has first been transposed into a myth, and the great advantage of myths is that they are ladies with portable roots.
Roots Firsts Advantage
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves. it is futile to argue as to which leaf, which design of branches, or which attractive flower you like; when you understand the root, you understand all its blossoming.
