More quotes by Salman Rushdie
Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.
Salman Rushdie
To see things plainly, you have to cross a frontier.
Salman Rushdie

Salman Rushdie
Very often, people who actually pick up a book of mine for the first time are kind of surprised. And I get these letters saying, well, who knew that you were good, you know?

The Chinese are good at repression and can be pretty ruthless about it.
Salman Rushdie

Salman Rushdie
To understand just one life you have to swallow the world ... do you wonder, then, that I was a heavy child?
Salman Rushdie
Make as much racket as you like people. Noise is life and an excess of noise is a sign that life is good. There will be time for us all to be quiet when we are safely dead.
Salman Rushdie
I will come back to India - so deal with it.
Salman Rushdie
If I were dead, then nobody in England would have to fuss about the cost of my security and whether or not I merited such special treatment for so long.
Salman Rushdie
If you have children you worry about the world you're leaving them.
Salman Rushdie
People must be protected from prejudice against their person. But people cannot be protected from prejudice against their ideas - because otherwise we're all done.
Salman Rushdie
Once you put a thought into the world, it can be disagreed with, but it can't be unthought.
Salman Rushdie
In the movies, the writer is just the servant, the employee.
Salman Rushdie
