Salman Rushdie Quotes About Betrayal

• Everest silences you...when you come down, nothing seems worth saying, nothing at all. You find the nothingness wrapping you up, like a sound. Non-being. You can't keep it up, of course. the world rushes in soon enough. What shuts you up is, I think, the sight you've had of perfection: why speak if you can't manage perfect thoughts, perfect sentences? It feels like a betrayal of what you've been through. But it fades; you accept that certain compromises, closures, are required if you're to continue.

  Salman Rushdie

  Betrayal, Thinking, Sight

• Hay dos cosas en la historia de la India: una es el increíble optimismo y potencial del lugar, y la otra es la traición de ese potencial, por ejemplo, la corrupción. Estos dos aspectos se entrelazan a lo largo de toda la historia de la India, y quizá no sólo de la India.

  Betrayal, Two, Optimism

• How does newness come into the world? How is it born? Of what fusions, translations, conjoinings is it made? How does it survive, extreme and dangerous as it is? What compromises, what deals, what betrayals of its secret nature must it make to stave off the wrecking crew, the exterminating angel, the guillotine? Is birth always a fall? Do angels have wings? Can men fly?
