The quote from Salman Rushdie's "Shalimar the Clown" reflects on a profound theme in human history: the tendency for illusion to prevail over reality. This suggests that throughout time, people often choose to embrace fantasies or misconceptions instead of facing the harsh truths of their existence. This notion underscores the complexities of human behavior and the ways in which imagination can shape our lives and societal narratives.
