All SALMAN RUSHDIE Quotes about “Eyes”

“Our human tragedy is that we are unable to comprehend our experience, it slips through our fingers, we can't hold on to it, and the more time passes, the harder it gets...My father said that the natural world gave us explanations to compensate for the meanings we could not grasp. The slant of the cold sunlight on a winter pine, the music of water, an oar cutting the lake and the flight of birds, the mountains' nobility , the silence of the silence. We are given life but must accept that it is unattainable and rejoice in what can be held in the eye, the memory, the mind.”
“A man who catches History's eye is thereafter bound to a mistress from whom he will never escape.”
“I learned: the first lesson of my life: nobody can face the world with his eyes open all the time.”
“Believe in your own eyes and you'll get into a lot of trouble, hot water, a mess.”
“The way you write a screenplay is that you close your eyes and run the movie in your head and then you write it down.”
