Salman Rushdie Quotes

She Wanted To Say, I Am Made Of Smoke. My Mind Is Smoke, My Thoughts Are Smoke, I Am All Smoke And Only Smoke. This Body Is A Garment I Put On, Which By My Magic Art I Have Made Capable Of Functioning As A Human Body Functions, It's So Biologically Perfect That It Can Conceive Children And Pop Them Out In Threes, Fours And Fives. Yet I Am Not Of This Body And Could, If I Chose, Inhabit Another Woman, Or An Antelope, Or A Gnat. Aristotle Was Wrong, For I Have Lived For Aeons, And Altered By Body When I Chose, Like A Garment Of Which I Had Grown Tired. The Mind And The Body Are Two, She Wanted To Say, But She Knew It Would Disappoint Him To Be Disagreed With, So She Held Her Tongue.
