Salman RushdieThe alphabet is where all our secrets begin.
About This Quote
When it comes to secrets, we keep them all. We keep our deepest, darkest secrets in the form of letters, e-mails, and text messages. We send our private thoughts to our friends and family in the form of words. We exchange money with our bank account numbers through the use of letters. The alphabet is where all of our secrets begin and end.
