Kiran Desai

Kiran Desai

Kakuzō Okakura
“Translation is always a treason, and as a Ming author observes, can at its best be only the reverse side of a brocade- all the threads are there, but not the subtlety of colour or design.”
Kakuzo Okakura, Book of Tea

Salman Rushdie
“A man who catches History's eye is thereafter bound to a mistress from whom he will never escape.”
Salman Rushdie, Shame

Kakuzō Okakura
“We take refuge in pride because we are afraid to tell the truth to ourselves.”
Kakuzo Okakura

Okakura Kakuzo
