Salman Rushdie Quotes
That Was How We Spoke, My Mother And I: In Puns And Games And Rhymes. In, You Might Say, Lyrics. This Was Our Tragedy. We Were Language's Magpies By Nature, Stealing Whatever Sounded Bright And Shiny. We Were Tinpan Alleycats, But The Gift Of Music Had Been Withheld. We Could Not Sing Along, Though We Always Knew The Words. Still, Defiantly, We Roared Our Tuneless Roars, We Fell Off The High Notes And Were Trampled By The Low Ones. And If Bitter Ices Were The Consequence, Well, There Were Worse Fates In The World Than That.
