Salman Rushdie: "Terkadang di tepi hutan, dia menyaksikan air mengalir...
"Terkadang di tepi hutan, dia menyaksikan air mengalir di atas tempat tidur berkerikil, modulasi kecil pantulan dan alirannya. Tubuh seorang wanita seperti itu. Jika Anda menontonnya dengan cukup hati-hati, Anda bisa melihat bagaimana ia bergerak mengikuti irama dunia, irama yang dalam, musik di bawah musik, kebenaran di bawah kebenaran. Dia percaya pada kebenaran tersembunyi ini seperti cara orang lain percaya pada Tuhan atau cinta, percaya bahwa kebenaran sebenarnya selalu disembunyikan, bahwa yang tampak, jelas, selalu merupakan semacam kebohongan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Sometimes by a woodland stream he watched the water rush over the pebbled bed, its tiny modulations of bounce and flow. A woman's body was like that. If you watched it carefully enough you could see how it moved to the rhythm of the world, the deep rhythm, the music below the music, the truth below the truth. He believed in this hidden truth the way other men believed in God or love, believed that truth was in fact always hidden, that the apparent, the overt, was invariably a kind of lie.
