~ Salman Rushdie
A few seconds later, my father broke his big toe; but his accident was a mere trifle when set beside what had befallen me in that benighted moment, because thanks to the occult tyrannies of those blandly saluting clocks I had been mysteriously handcuffed to history, my destinies indissolubly chained to those of my country.
~ Salman Rushdie
Kaçarken bir yandan ipuçlar?yla dolu bir korsan haritas?na, üzerindeki X iÅŸaretlerinin ÅŸahs?mdan mürekkep bir hazineyi iÅŸaret ettiÄŸi korsan haritama çevirdim dünyay?. PeÅŸimdekiler b?rakt???m izleri sürüp geldikleri zaman beni ÅŸikâyetsiz, soluksuz, haz?r bekler bulacaklar. İşte burada duruyorum. Olaca?? buydu.

and she went on loving him, even though he had so casually abandoned her. You were my everything, she wanted to say to him, you were my sun and moon, and who will hold my head now, who will kiss my lips, who will be a father to our children, but he was a great man destined for the halls of the immortals, and these squalling brats were no more than the jetsam he let in his wake.
~ Salman Rushdie
