“It's as if we're standing still and the world is traveling past us. Or maybe the world is TV and I don't know who's in charge of the zapper.”
― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte

“What vanishes when everything vanishes: not only everything, but the memory of everything. Not only can everything no longer remember itself, no longer remember how it was when it still was everything, before it became nothing, but there is nobody else to remember either, and so everything not only ceases to exist but becomes a thing that never was; it is as if everything that was, was not, and moreover there is nobody left to tell the story, not the whole grand story of everything, not even the last sad story of how everything became nothing, because there is no storyteller, no hand to write or eye to read, so that the book of how everything became nothing cannot be written, just as we cannot write the stories of our own deaths, which is our tragedy, to be stories whose endings can never be known, not ever to ourselves, because we are no longer there to know them.”
― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte

“If you die and go to Hell" the Braves fan said, "you have to change places in Atlanta.”
― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte

“I'm like the sky at night. The universe has no interest in right and wrong. It doesn't care who lives or dies and who behaved well or badly. The universe is an explosion. It rushes outwards, pushing, growing, making room for itself. It's a never-ending conquest. You know what the motto of the universe is? Give me more. I want it all. That's my motto also. That's how i see things too.”
― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte
