More From Salman Rushdie

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.

I think people like me are in a relatively privileged position because we have to some extent chosen to live in foreign places. i would always make the distinction between those who are exiles in terms of being thrown out of the place they want to be, and others who are exiles in terms of going toward a place they would rather be.

He’s sort of a homeless horse,” i said. “i’m leaving for the airport in two seconds, and i won’t be back for a couple days. you can put the horse in the garage, but i don’t want that horse in my apartment.” “who would put a horse in an apartment? that’s dumb.” “where’s the horse staying now?” “my apartment.” “i can always count on you to brighten my day,” ranger said. and he disconnected.
