Salman Rushdie Quotes
At The Beginning Of All Love There Is A Private Treaty Each Of The Lovers Make With Himself Or Herself, An Agreement To Set Aside What Is Wrong With The Other For The Sake Of What Is Right. Love Is Spring After Winter. It Comes To Heal Life's Wounds, Inflicted By The Unloving Cold. When That Warmth Is Born In The Heart The Imperfections Of The Beloved Are As Nothing, Less Than Nothing, And The Secret Treaty With Oneself Is Easy To Sign. The Voice Of Doubt Is Stilled. Later, When Love Fades, The Secret Treaty Looks Like Folly, But If So, It's A Necessary Folly, Born Of Lovers' Belief In Beauty, Which Is To Say, In The Possibility Of The Impossible Thing, True Love.
