Bindusmita

“Memory's truth, because memory has its own special kind. It selects, eliminates, alters, exaggerates, minimizes, glorifies, and vilifies also; but in the end it creates its own reality, its heterogeneous but usually coherent version of events; and no sane human being ever trusts someone else's version more than his own.”
― Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.”
― Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“Reality can have metaphorical content; that does not make it less real.”
― Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children

“Those who understand simply, understand truly.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, The Devotee
